Abstract: One of the major goals of governments for improving economic conditions is to transfer the ownership of companies to the private sector. Applying Robins questionnaire, this research aimed to investigate the structure of National Iranian Copper Industries Company (NICICO) before and after privatization. The statistical population included directors of National Iranian Copper Company. Components of the company's structure were organizational centralization, formality, and complexity. Also, paired t-test was applied to analyze the data during the pre- and post-privatization periods. The results showed the significant change in the structure of NICICO before and after privatization; these changes had an incremental trend in terms of complexity and centralization; however, formality index was reduced after privatization.
