In order to investigate the given relationship, we used the characteristics of mission statement which included: the completeness, practicality, reality, distinctness and flexibility of the mission statement. Data have been analyzed by SPSS. It is concluded that there is a direct and positive relationship between the mission statement and organizational performance.
