MAS WEBER’S BUREAUCRATIC
FORM: SIX MAJOR PRINCIPLES
1. A formal hierarchical structure-
in a bureaucratic organization, each level controls the level below it. Also,
the level above it control it. A formal hierarchy is the basis of central planning and
centralized decision making.

2. Rules-based Management-
the organization uses rules to exert control. Therefore, the lower levels
seamlessly execute the decisions made at higher levels.

3. Functional Specialty organization-


specialist do the work. Also, the organization divides employees into unit
based on the type of work they do or the skills they possess.
4. Up-focused or In-focused Mission-
if the mission of the organization is to serve the stockholders, board, or any other
agency that empowered it, then it is up-focused. On the other hand, if the mission is to serve
the organization itself and those within it (like generating profits, etc.), then it is in-focused.

5. Impersonal-
bureaucratic organizations treat all employees equally. They also treat all customers
equally and do not allow individual differences to influence them.

6. Employment-based on Technical Qualifications-


selection as well as the promotion of employees is based on technical
qualifications and skills.
