PPPs are widely implemented worldwide and it has become vital issues in several studies. This study investigates the relationship between organizational structure and readiness to implement PPPs. The aim of this research is to provide a theoretical framework for the impact of organizational structure on readiness to adopt PPPs and test whether the organizational structure dimensions have significant impact on the PPPs readiness index. The research model and hypotheses were formed and tested using correlation and regression analysis. The results show that formalization as one of the attributes in organizational structure is the main predictor to PPPs readiness index. This finding also shows that the organizational structure has a significant and positive relationship with readiness to implement PPPs. Based on the findings, it is recommended that in order to enhance the implementation of the PPPs, there is a strong need to consider organizational structure attributes such as centralization and formalization.
