  • Abstract

    The rise in the popularity of certain organizational initiatives highlights the importance of assessing new team members carefully to ensure success. However, organizations must strengthen the connections between organizational structure and stakeholder involvement to improve business performance. However, organizations must strengthen the connections between organizational structure and stakeholder involvement to enhance business performance. Additionally, issues related to organizational performance, such as bureaucratic red tape and ineffective stakeholder engagement, can complicate the process. Addressing these challenges through a streamlined organizational structure and proactive stakeholder engagement is essential for maintaining stability and coherence within the organization. Numerous literature reviews have examined organizational performance; however, they often lack a systematic and integrative conceptualization of the influence of organizational structure and stakeholder engagement on performance outcomes and often overlook organizational structure and stakeholder engagement, particularly in the context of organizational performance. This limitation hampers our understanding of how to effectively leverage stakeholder engagement to enhance organizational performance. Although organizational performance is a multidimensional construct, its unique characteristics, such as bureaucratic red tape, make a systematic review necessary by the Systematic Reviews Preferred Reporting Items (PRISMA). Therefore, the objectives of this review are to 1) identify a number of conceptualizations of terms such as organizational structure, stakeholder engagement and organizational performance; 2) suggest some possible research topics; and 3) propose a conceptual model for organizational performance. A comprehensive review of the material released between 2018 and 2024 helped accomplishes these goals. One hundred forty-two (142) publications were considered in our study, and they were all examined to address our research questions. The results imply that while earlier research is valuable, it focused mainly on management, leadership, and organizational culture.
