Abstract: 

This study aims to analyze the impact of centralized and decentralized organizational structures on the performance of poultry companies in Jordan. Three leading companies were selected as the study sample: National Poultry Company, Al Jazeera Agricultural Company, and Al Gharbia Poultry Breeding Company. The researcher employed a comparative method to examine the organizational structures, focusing on the distribution of authority and decision-making processes between top and lower management levels. Results indicated that companies adopting a decentralized structure achieved better responsibility distribution and granted managers at various levels greater autonomy in decision-making, contributing to improved operational efficiency, faster response to market demands, and higher employee satisfaction. The study concludes that adopting decentralization in multi-divisional companies is an effective strategy to enhance overall performance and achieve growth and expansion objectives.
