Question

All of the following are characteristics of Weber's Theory of Bureaucracy except

Select one:

a. Rationality

b. Environmental Analysis

c. Officials

d. Uniformity

Answer 1

ANS: B IS THE CORRECT OPTION: ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS IS NOT A FEATURE OF WEBER'S THEORY OF BUREAUCRACY.

RATIONALITY IS A FEATURE BECAUSE, IN BUREAUCRACY, DECISIONS ARE MADE ON RATIONAL FACTORS AND NOT ON PERSONAL FACTORS.

OFFICIALS IS A CHARACTERISTIC BECAUSE ALL THE EMPLOYEES ARE RECRUITED CONSIDERING THEIR TECHNICAL SKILLS. THEY DONOT HAVE ANY OWNERSHIP IN THE COMPANY. THUS THEY ARE ONLY OFFICIALS WHO ARE PAID SALARIES FOR WORK.

UNIFORMITY IS ALSO A FEATURE OF THE THEORY BECAUSE EMPLOYEES HAVE TO FOLLOW SOME RULES AND REQUIREMENTS WHICH ENSURE UNIFORMITY IN THEIR WORK.

SO FROM ABOVE POINTS, IT IS CLEAR THAT ALL OTHERS ARE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE THEORY EXCEPT ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS.
