Abstract
The relationships among context, structure, and performance of two‐year colleges are explored in this article. The rationale for the ideas proposed is that the problems generated by rapidly changing environmental forces impinge on a college's internal structure and help shape the responses made by administrators. A model is proposed and a scheme explained for administrators to make intelligent modifications in policies, forms, and decision‐making methods. An abbreviated set of instruments is provided for measuring four key dimensions of structure: specialization, formaliza‐tion, standardization, and centralization. The purpose of the model and the set of instruments is to provide practitioners with tools to apply in adapting structure to maintain high level outcomes in turbulent times.
