The performance of organizational reflects the result of the implementation of various strategies adopted by the organization. Different organizations use varying measures of performance. A recent study suggests that managerial practices are strongly connected with firm or organizational performance. A previous study discovered significant disparities in management practices among organizational and nations, and that these practices were closely linked to organizational innovation and other performance indicators including profitability and survival rates. From that, this study aims to propose a model based on the combination of managerial leadership, managerial competence, and managerial ties toward organizational performance. Also, this study highlights the role of environmental dynamics as a moderating variable. Thus, disparities in management practices were discovered to be bigger within nations than across countries, showing that some organizational and industrial elements are at least as important as the overall business environment in shaping management performance. This is due to the organization's significant contribution to a country's economic development.
