The purpose of this study was to Organizational Strategic Fitness of Sepah Bank: A Study in Branches of Shiraz city. In this descriptive-survey study, the statistical population of Shiraz Sepah Bank employees (including 692) was employed in 50 branches in Shiraz city. The first part was demographic information and the second part was a strategic fit questionnaire. The Strategic Approach Inventory includes 42 items in 3 dimensions of Strategic Response, Strategic Change and Strategic Success, whose validity and reliability were reviewed and approved. Data were analyzed using SPSS18 software, t-test, single-variable t-test, intra-group analysis of variance, benfronnial follow-up and combined variance analysis. The results showed that all dimensions of strategic fit of organization in Sepah bank branches of Shiraz were above average and lower than desirable levels (p=0.001). In terms of staff, the highest average was related to the strategic response (3.65) and the lowest mean for strategic success (3.50). The result of post hoc test showed that there is a significant difference between the mean strategic response and strategic success, but there is no difference between the other averages. There are significant differences in gender, educational qualification and work experience in evaluating the organizational dimensions of the organization based on demographic characteristics, but there is no difference between the viewpoint of managers and employees of Sepah Bank from the strategic alignment of the organization.
