2.3 PROBLEM OF BUREAUCRACY
Although Weber Models continues to set the pattern of most policy agencies or organization and its is not likely to be replaced in the nearest future to come, his approaches nevertheless has been subjected to wide spread criticisms.
“R.K merlon argues that demand on official to conform to bureaucratic regulation lead to ritualism, defensiveness, rigidity and difficulties in dealing with public†stanlet mathias 92010).
This stream culminates in M. Crozler (1964), in which the author uses bureaucracy to mean “an organization that cannot correct its behavior by learning from its errorsâ€, and stated that “bureaucrative theoryâ€. Is characterized by rigidity, flexibility, emphasis on mean rather than ends anti humanist over lane. Most critics have their focuses in these following perceived problems in Weber lans bureaucrative model:
a. Unnatural: Strict regimentation is felt to demand the nature of man as free creature being equal to all other in a democratic society.
b. Unrealistic: It is considered naïve to believe that organization personals will work harder or more efficient under threat of punishment, most employees can find ways to “g off†without being caught and many actually make this game to beat the organization.
c. Demoralizing: The monopoly of power by the “brass†at the top of the bureaucrative structure is seen as creating a feeling of power less in the ranks thereby squalling employees ingenuity and unmotivated.
d. Repressive: Commttantly, the command and strict formality of bureautive authority may prevent workers from volcing out their opinion on how their should be performed, many crate boring work atmosphere, this may foster red tape and possible promote corruption.
e. Cost: Maintaining a large overlay of supervision and administration among the workers in a bureaucratic among the workers in a bureaucratic setting is viewed to be more expensive.
f. Isolation: Finally it is alleged that bureaucratic organization grows too rapidly and tend to become isolated from the public they are designed to serve. This tends to shows the image of bureaucracy as cold, all the impersonal and obligation to play for their maintenance.
