Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Standard operating procedures (SOPs) are a set of instructions that describe how to perform specific tasks or activities. In the context of bureaucracies, SOPs are the rules and regulations that govern how bureaucrats are expected to behave and carry out their work. These SOPs help ensure consistency and efficiency in government operations. While codes of conduct and specialized guidelines may also apply to bureaucracies, SOPs are the most commonly used term to refer to the rules governing bureaucrat behavior. Constitutional guarantees, on the other hand, refer to rights and protections granted by the constitution, and may not always directly apply to bureaucracy operations or behavior.
