stated objectives.

The objectives of organising include one of the following:
1) Ensuring that government activities are organised in an orderly manner.

the establishment of structures of authority.

The rational principle is one of the three principles identified by Weber, that provide the
basis for legitimate authority in accordance with his view of the“ideal type” of
bureaucracy. This principle is based on…
1) a dedication to an individual and the normative prescripts and behaviour advocated by that individual.
2) sacrosanct nature of age-old traditions and the legitimacy of action by those who exercise their authority in
terms of these traditions.
3) the legitimacy of normative prescripts, and heavy reliance on the right of those in positions of authority to
give instructions to their surbordinates.
4) emphasis on the use of rules and regulations and a hierarchical structure as presented by offices and
positions of the workers in such offices.
