BUREAUCRACY

Ideal type of a formal organization in society, characterized by a hierarchical legitimation of authority with powers and responsibility assigned to the offices rather then to the salaried employees occupying positions in this hierarchy. A rational differentiation of goal-oriented activities and behaviorS assigning functions to each office or position, and a codification of legal rules of conduct, of written communications, records, documents and contracts regulating and maintaining the organization as a whole (Weber). (krippendorff)
