WRITTEN BY Bert Rockman Professor and Chair, Department of Political Science, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. Coeditor of The Oxford Handbook of Political Institutions. See Article History Bureaucracy, specific form of organization defined by complexity, division of labour, PERMANENCE, PROFESSIONAL management, hierarchical coordination and control, strict chain of command, and legal authority. It is distinguished from informal and collegial organizations. In its ideal form, bureaucracy is impersonal and rational and based on rules rather than ties of kinship, friendship, or PATRIMONIAL or charismatic authority. Bureaucratic organization can be found in both public and private institutions. |
