The aim of this descriptive-survey research was to investigate and analyze the organizational structure of Qeshm free zone based on 7 S of McKinsey.

Simple random sampling was used to select research population, and the number of population was decided according to Cohcaran formula, which was 84. The research was conducted in the form of questionnaires.

To analyze research data Kolmogorov-Smirinov, T-test and Freedman test were used. The results of the research indicated that organizational structure based on 7-S McKinsey in Qeshm free zone is unfavorable, with common value, clerks and structure having the worst conditions.
