Bureaucracy is a concept of administrative execution and enforcement of legal rules. This office organisation is characterised by standardised procedure, formal division of responsibility, hierarchy, and impersonal relationships. (Dwyer 2006)Bureaucracy can help managers to lead the subordinates to maintain performance to achieve the organisational goals. (Stazyk & Goerdel 2010) With the changing of times, the characteristics of bureaucracy have been transformed from the past to present. (Hodgson 2004) A bureaucratic system brings to the overall running and efficiency of a business and its employees. In a bureaucracy each employee of the organization knows precisely what their duties are within the organization, and therefore many tasks will be performed a lot quicker and more efficiently. Sometimes bureaucracy is not suitable to be used in an organisation because there are some disadvantages of bureaucracy. Managers should carefully control with the bureaucracy management system, otherwise would drop down the performance. Therefore, the managers need to recognise both of the advantages and disadvantages of bureaucracy when the managers decide to follow the principles of bureaucracy to increase efficiency and effectiveness. They also have to realise how bureaucracy to increase effectiveness and efficiency in workplace today.
Traditional bureaucracy based on rules, hierarchy, impersonality and a division of labour; dominant form of organisation for more than a century; producer focus and inertia; preoccupation with efficiency. (Hodgson 2004) The major advantage of traditional bureaucracy is to create job stability and internal routes of advancement, employees would have a strong sense of belonging to their companies thus improving employees’ productivities.
