Bureaucracy theory

Max Weber, a German philosopher, proposed that an ideal organizational structure is a bureaucracy, characterized by six factors: a clear hierarchy, division of labor, established rules, strong authority chains, trained administrative personnel, and impersonal relationships. These elements ensure that individuals are evaluated based on their work performance rather than personal attributes.
