    Bureaucracy

    Bureaucracy is the structure and set of regulations in place to


    control activity, usually in large organizations and government. As
    opposed to adhocracy, it is represented by standardized
    procedure (rule- following) that dictates the execution of most or
    all processes within the body, formal division of powers, hierarchy,
    and relationships. In practice the interpretation and execution of
    policy can lead to informal influence.
    Bureaucracy is a concept in sociology and
    political science referring to the way that
    the administrative execution and
    enforcement of legal rules are socially
    organized. Four structural concepts are
    central to any definition of bureaucracy;
    1. a well-defined division of administrative labor
    among persons and offices,
    2. a personnel system with consistent patterns of
    recruitment and stable linear careers,
    3. a hierarchy among offices, such that the
    authority and status are differentially distributed
    among actors, and formal
    4. informal networks that connect organizational
    actors to one another through flows of
    information and patterns of cooperation.
    Examples of everyday bureaucracy include governments,
    armed forces, corporation, non governmental organization
    (NGOs), hospitals courts, ministries and schools.
    Max Weber has probably been one of the most influential
    users of the word in its social science sense. He is well-
    known for his study of bureaucratization of society; many
    aspects of modern public administration go back to him; a
    classic, hierarchically organized civil service of the
    continental type is – if perhaps mistakenly-called
    Weberian civil service several different years between
    1818 and 1860, prior to Weber’s birth in 1864.
    Weber described the ideal type bureaucracy in positive terms,
    considering it to be a more rational and efficient form of
    organization than the alternatives that preceded it, which he
    characterized as charismatic domination and traditional
    domination. According to his terminology, bureaucracy is part of
    legal domination. However, he also emphasized that bureaucracy
    becomes inefficient when a decision must be adopted to an
    individual case.
    According to Weber, the attributes of modern bureaucracy include
    its impersonality, concentration of the means of administration, a
    leveling effect on social and economic differences and
    implementation of a system of authority that is practically
    indestructible.
