2. Organizational structure: there are two types of organizational structures: organist and mechanistic. Organist structure tends to be flexible. Such organizations change themselves very fast to cope up with the present changing environment. This dynamics make such structures are very rigid and have clearly defined relationships and responsibility. These structures are static and are designed to carry out a nearly fixed strategy in a relative stable environment. Initiative, drive and imagination do not receive encouragement in a mechanistic structure.

3. Environmental constraints: various Environmental constraints affect the performance of an employee. For example the quality of a new material may affect the productivity and performance of an employee. If the selection of the materials and other things are done at the higher level in the organization, the performance appraisal of the worker would not be affected.

4. Interdependence of subsystems: every subsystem of a organizational system is interdependent. The malfunctioning of a subsystem affects the other subsystems functioning. Because of this Interdependence of subsystems it is suggested that the performance appraisal should start from the apex. This leads to more systematic and logical cause and affect tracing of performance at all levels within the organization.
