The Bureaucratic Model
Max Weber (1864-1920)
termed the bureaucratic model a "rational-legal system" - its structure and
processes expressly designed to achieve certain goals. Bureaucracy is a
rational system especially designed for optimum functional performance and
every part (depts, levels, posts) contributes to the whole (unity of purpose).
Bureaucracy is legal and authority is exercised through a rule and procedural
systems and the offices people occupy.
- Bureaucratic Characteristics
- Bureaucratic structures emphasise specialisation
between jobs and departments
- Bureaucracy stresses reliance on formal procedures
and paperwork
- There is extended managerial reporting
structures
- There are clearly marked status definitions.
Bureaucracies employ a system of delegation down these hierarchies.
- There is a formal (job) authority - others know your
responsibilities and their reporting relationships
