Document Summary
More conservative yet he had a pessimistic view of humans. Most dignified way in which can be held accountable is through imposition of formal rules and regulations that are outline and anyone who doesn"t follow is subject to punishment. Also believed that bureaucrats should not be allowed to use discretionary power. Rules and regulations should be detailed which discretion and actions to be used for. If there"s a need for power discretion, under those conditions should only be used by high ranking member of bureaucracy. Believed imposing rules and regulation would not work to maintain. Believed the environment of workplace, organization should be designed to promote good behaviour so bureaucrat will become self-regulating. Argument was that it"s not impossible to subject discretionary powers of bureaucrats to standard operating procedures. Through promoting an environment that"s faster and better within an organization. Recognized ineffectiveness of formal control: weakest: how to reconcile question of formal responsibility and subjective responsibility.
