  1. Look through the text. Open the brackets putting the verbs in the active or passive forms.

Max Weber has probably been one of the most influential us- ers of the word in its social science sense. He is well-known for his study of bureaucratization of society.

Weber (to describe) the ideal type bureaucracy in positive terms, considering it to be a more rational and efficient form of organization than the alternatives that preceded it, which he (to characterize) as charismatic domination and traditional domina- tion. According to his terminology, bureaucracy is part of legal domination. However, he also (to emphasize) that bureaucracy becomes inefficient when a decision must be adopted to an indi- vidual case.

According to Weber, the attributes of modern bureaucracy (to include) its impersonality, concentration of the means of ad- ministration, a leveling effect on social and economic differences and implementation of a system of authority that is practically in- destructible.

A bureaucratic organization (to govern) by the following sev- en principles:

  1. official business (to conduct) on a continuous basis;

  2. official business (to conduct) with strict accordance to the

following rules:

  1. the duty of each official to do certain types of work (to delimit) in terms of impersonal criteria,

  2. the official (to give) the authority necessary to carry out his assigned functions,

  3. the means of coercion at his disposal (to limit) and con- ditions of their use strictly (to define);

  1. every official’s responsibilities and authority are part of a ver- tical hierarchy of authority, with respective rights of supervi- sion and appeal;

  2. officials (not to own) the resources necessary for the per- formance of their assigned functions but are accountable for their use of these resources;

  3. official and private business and income (to separate);

  4. offices cannot (to appropriate) by their incumbents (inherit- ed, sold, etc.);

  5. official business (to conduct) on the basis of written docu- ments.

A bureaucratic official:

  • is personally free and appointed to his position on the basis of conduct;

  • (to exercise) the authority delegated to him in accordance with impersonal rules, and his loyalty (to enlist) on behalf of the faithful execution of his official duties;

  • appointment and job placement are dependent upon his tech- nical qualifications;

  • administrative work is a full-time occupation;

  • work (to reward) by a regular salary and prospects of ad- vancement in a lifetime career.

An official must exercise his judgment and his skills, but his duty is to place these at the service of a higher authority; ulti- mately he is responsible only for the impartial execution of as- signed tasks and must sacrifice his personal judgment if it runs counter to his official duties.
