description The present paper treats the relationships between dimensions of size, technology and selected aspects of organizational structure in contractor firms operating in Turkey. It is proposed that the larger the organization, and the more advanced the technology employed, the higher the level of formalization, the higher the level of standardization, the higher the level of functional specialization and the lower the level of centralization. The data collected supported these propositions, except for the proposition about centralization.
