The discussion:

Bureaucracy is considered to be a necessary theoretical management principle in running a large organization, as companies need rules, obedience (Ihlen and Fredriksson, 2018) and they seek to influence the conduct of employees with charismatic leaders. Clegg et al (2022) mentioned that bureaucracy requires rules, hierarchy and leadership.

Mouzelis (1967) explained that bureaucracy organizations should have a high level of specialization, clear authority structure with a clear definition of the limits of responsibility (Kakavelakis, and Edwards, 2022), impersonality, recruitment of officials on the basis of ability and technical knowledge and differentiation of private and official revenue.

Jakobs (2022) supported Weber's theory, describing bureaucracy as the most efficient theory that could help organizations to achieve organizational goals and purposes. Udy (1959) also reinforced the importance of charisma in organizations as a force for transformation.

Transformation can lead to innovation, change, creativity and growth. Promoting innovation means working on the prevalent organizational culture (Management, and Durand, 2004). Conger (1993) stated that charisma was important for Weber as the main force for change and innovation in society.

In my current organization, rulership (Jakobs, 2022) is being seen all day as we need to obey to the general directions even if that leads to a total failure. My company is a semi-stated organization meaning that bureaucracy is there. We have a hierarchical structure, however rules and responsibilities are not clearly defined. There is no leadership towards innovation and transformational practices.

Have you seen differences between public and private organizations in regards to bureaucracy organizations?
