Abstract

Purpose – Integrating theories of environmental and organizational design, this purpose of this study to
examine the mediating effect of a firm’s absorptive capacity (ACAP) on the relationship between external
organizational environment and internal organizational structure.
Design/methodology/approach – The authors investigate a data set of 347 multisectoral industrial firms in
South Korea. The results from composite-based structural equation modeling (CSEM) analysis support the
mediating effect of ACAP in external organizational environment – internal organizational structure link.
Findings – The findings underscore the positive impact of both the external environment and ACAP on the
internal structural aspects. Furthermore, the authors reveal that ACAP serves as a crucial mediator in the
relationship between the external environment and characteristics of the internal organizational structure. Practical implications –
This study offers a unique perspective, focusing on the intricate connection
between the external organizational environment and internal organizational structure, while concurrently
exploring the mediating role of ACAP in aligning internal structural attributes with external environmental
conditions.

This paper focuses to build and test an integrated model to examine the association
among external organizational environment, internal organizational structure and ACAP. Furthermore, this
study simultaneously assesses the mediating role of ACAP on the fit between external environmental
conditions and internal organizational structure. This focus is considered as the main theoretical and empirical
contribution of this study.
