“is reflected in certain specific forms of organizational
behavior: hierarchy, subdivision, specialization, fixed
way of doing things, and professionalization.”
by Dimock,
“It is a specific form of social organization
for administrative purposes.”
Nigro and Nigro,

Socorro S. Espiritu, a Filipino sociologist. Espiritu said
that bureaucratic structures in institutions are not
necessarily confined to political organizations. They tend
to develop wherever it is necessary to coordinate the
activities of many people. Bureaucracy offers both an
efficient mechanism for reaching institutional goals and
the danger of allowing the mechanism to appear more
important than the service it is supposed to perform.
“Bureaucracy is the best form of the organization. As
an organization, it substitutes a rule of law based on
the whims of those who happen to govern.”
Maxx Weber’s point of view,

BUREAUCRACY
SEVERAL ISSUES RISEN AS INSTRUMENT OF NATIONAL DE
IN THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE PHILIPPINE BUREAUCRACY.
1.Bureaucratic resistance to change.

2. Socio-economic, political, cultural and ecological
constraints to administrative change.
3.Problems in the transfer of technology and
adaption.
5.PHILIPPINE BUREAUCRATIC BEHAVIOR
1.Conformity to policies.
2.Preference toward continuity and
routinization.
3.Loss of self-direction or self-assertion.
4.Politically supportive.
The Filipinos are status-oriented. Authority figures
determine, to a large extent, the satisfaction or
frustration of the Filipino’s aspiration for social
acceptance, economic security, and social mobility.
Other characteristics of the Filipino bureaucrats,
such as bahala na, saka na, awa(pity), amor propio
(self-esteem), also greatly affected the Philippine
bureaucratic behavior
Greed, laziness and ignorance are among the
vices that have weakend the bureaucratic system.
While the people afflicted with these vices constitute
less than one percent of the entire civil service in the
Philippines, they have tainted the vast majority of
honest, selfless, and dedicated government workers.
