Read the passage below, and answer the questions that follow based on your understanding of the passage
Bureaucracy includes certain negative behavioural traits also. Subsequent Sociologists have taken weber's concept as a starting point but have not been content to be limited by his definition. In particular one school of thought emphasises that webers Ideal type of bureaucracy itself entails the features responsible for the in efficiency so often associated with the term (bureaucracy). These features are dysfunctional and pathological and even frustrate the attainment of organisational goals. Robert merton has made a classic statement of this point of view. He is concerned with the fact that "The very elements which are conduce toward efficiency in general produce inefficiency in specific instances" and, "also lead to an over concern with strict adherence to regulations which in duces timidity, conservatism and technicism". Stress on "depersonalisation of relationships" leads to conflict in relations with bureaucratic clientele. Specific behavioural orientations often mentioned are passing the buck, red tape, rigidity and inflexibility, excessive impersonality over-secretiveness, unwillingness to delegate', and reluctance exercise discretion. Behaviour of this sort is typical of the "trained in capacity" of the bureaucracy the implication is that behaviour most typically bureaucratic is behaviour emerging from over emphasis on the rationality of bureaucratic organisation and dys-functional in its effects. This problem persists to this day.
Morstein marx refers to such traits as "ailment of organisation" explained by the fact that "the bureaucratic type of organisation gives rise to certain tendencies that prevent its purpose. Some of its strength and in extreme cases all of it-is drained off constantly by vices that paradoxically spring from virtues". Michel crozier described his valuable study 'The Bureaucratic Phenomenon', as scientific attempt to understand better this "malady of bureaucracy". He explains that the subject to which he refers in speaking of the bureaucratic phenomenon is that of the maladaptation, the inadequecies, or to use merton's expression, the "dysfunctions" which necessarily develop with in an organisation.
