- Abstract
- Various organizational theories are based on divergent assumptions about human
nature. Based on certain assumptions, the theorists justified administrative behavior in
formal organizations. At one extreme the Bureaucratic theorists assert that their theory,
based on the assumption that man is inherently selfish by nature, has validity and
university in an ideal sense. According to Weber, for example:
Experience tends universally to show that the purely bureaucratic type administrative
organization … is from the purely technical point of view, of attaining the highest degree
of efficiency and is in this sense formally the most rational known means of carrying out
imperative control over human beings. It is superior to any other form in precision, in
stability, in the stringency of its discipline, and in its reliability (Weber, 1947, p. 337)
