Being a driver of a company's execution, organizational culture and structure are connected with different activity outcomes.

One of them is connected with the complicated organizational structure as there are several positions that are not used in reality.

These two issues had a serious impact on the performance of the company. Summarizing the best approaches of literature review and identifying the problems of Agroleasing, several test-cases were organized in order to evaluate the current efficiency of the organizational structure and to understand the roots of employee's diverse behavior approaches. According to the results of researches recommendations were highlighted for each sphere. A new organizational structure was offered in order to simplify the complexity of the duties, also servant leadership behavior was recommended as a way of better internal cultural environment creation.
