  abstract = {Increasing organizational effectiveness is one of the most important organizational goals for almost all organizations in every industry. This study reviews the function of organizational structure for increasing organizational effectiveness especially by focusing on software industry organizations. The structural variables considered in this research are formalization, specialization, centralization, organizational age and size. The survey prepared according to the research model was responded by 120 software firms. The collected data were analyzed using statistical test techniques. The findings show that formalization and specialization increase organizational effectiveness. On the other hand, increasing the organizational size decreases the organizational effectiveness. The results indicate that software companies should stay at small scales in their organizational size while increasing their organizational performances with the help of specialization and formalization.},
