The Modern Organization

According to Max Weber, bureaucracy should be synonymous with order, consistency, reason, and reliability. For others to aspire these traits, organizations need to have specific rules and emphasize impersonality. He noted that bureaucratic organization should follow some set of characteristics. It should have a specific set task that allow employees to achieve its own objective. There should be written rules and procedures to help manage and direct the organization. There needs to be a chain of command that is shaped like a pyramid, the level of supervisors and subordinates. Each worker has to answer a corresponding superior. This assists in having a direct line of communication and better efficiency in the organization. A detailed job description that has clear and concise definition and direction, responsibilities of each position. All of these are very important factors in building you organization and it also helps new hires better grasp the ideas and responsibilities it takes for their new job.
