(6 Marks)

  1. Growing size of organizations
    • As organizations grow larger, the need for a bureaucratic structure to manage the complexity and volume of tasks increases.
  2. Greater complexity of work
    • Increased complexity in tasks necessitates specialization within the organization, which is better managed through a bureaucratic framework.
  3. Demand for equality of treatment
    • Citizens expect impartial treatment by organizations, and bureaucracy ensures equal treatment through standardized rules and procedures.
