Which external environmental factors directly impact an organization's performance?

Shareholders and societal expectations can influence organizational decisions and strategies, but they are more indirect factors of performance. While shareholder interests can drive certain business decisions, they do not directly impact operational capabilities or market conditions that affect performance.

Strategy and technology are internal factors that organizations can control and adjust to improve performance. However, they do not represent external environmental factors. While strategic decisions can influence performance, the effectiveness of these strategies often depends on the external labor force and economic conditions.

Structure and culture are also internal organizational elements that shape how a company operates. They affect employee behavior and decision-making but do not directly stem from external environmental influences. Therefore, they do not impact organizational performance in the same direct manner as labor force and economic conditions.
