Abstract
Autonomous organizations are structurally disaggregated enterprises that operate at an arm's length from government. The level of autonomy determines the performance of these agencies. This research was conducted to determine the level of autonomy of state enterprise and special case of electric distribution companies was studied.
Eight electric distribution companies were taken and data was collected from all key decision makers of these organizations through surveys to compare them with ideal agency type proposed by Pollitt. The results confirmed that the eight electric distribution companies are enjoying moderate level of autonomy when compared to ideal type agency model. It is finally recommended that more strategic level autonomy must be granted to these agencies to perform better.
