Definition

  • The neocontingency model refers to the latest in a long line of interpretations of structural contingency theory, which was the main school of thought in organization theory in the 1960s and 1970s. The neocontingency model focuses on the “fit” between contingencies and organizational structure and how that fit influences organizational performance.
