Abstract : This study explores the relationship between internal business environment and organisational performance. The objectives of the study are: to examine the impact of organic business function (personnel) on organisational performance; to assess the effect of sales on organisational performance and to examine the influence of leadership on organisational performance. This study sampled 100 participants via google forms and the data was analysed with descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS version 26. From the findings, it reveals that internal business environment is a crucial factor that impact on the performance of an organisation. It was shown that organisations which focus on internal factors and enhance the internal context of a business are likely to post better levels of performance. It is recommended for managers and leaders to be interested in enhancing the efficiency, and effectiveness of the organisation’s internal resources. In conclusion, concentrating on the organisation’s internal business environment is a key driver of growth, innovation, and competitive advantage.
