Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Weber's bureaucratic model is based on rational-legal authority, which is rooted in the belief in the legality of rules and the right of those elevated to authority under such rules to issue commands. This type of authority is based on formal, impersonal rules and relies on the legitimacy of formally enacted rules and procedures. It is distinct from traditional authority, which is based on the traditional customs and practices of a society, and charismatic authority, which is based on the personal appeal and charisma of an individual. Elected authority is not directly related to Weber's bureaucratic model.
