Organizational Characteristics of Personality:


To be successful in all organizations, the organizational man must have the following characteristics of personality:
a) Flexibility, given the constant changes that occur in modern life, and the diversity of roles in various organizations, which can get a reversal, the sudden shutdown of organizations and new relationships.
b) Tolerance to frustration, to avoid the emotional distress arising from the conflict between organizational needs and individual needs, the mediation is done by rational rules, written and comprehensive, seeking involve the entire organization.
c) Ability to rewards and compensate the routine work on the organization, accordingly personal preferences and vocations, and other types of work.
d) Standing desire to achieve, to ensure compliance and cooperation with the rules that control and provide access to the career positions within the organization, providing social rewards and sanctions and materials.These characteristics of personality vary in degree depending on the organization and position held.

The characteristics of bureaucracy are:
a) Legal nature of the rules and regulations: it is an organization bound by rules and regulations established in writing in advance.
b) Formal communications: they are recorded in writing by forms, so that the bureaucracy is a formally organized to a social structure.
c) Rational: division of labor, where the tasks are set for each participant.
d) Impersonal: relationship in terms of positions, not people.
e) Hierarchy: each post below is under the supervision of the superior officer.
f) Routine: the employee must do what is the boss bureaucracy, he is not independent.
g) Meritocracy: the choice of people is based on merit and technique competence.
h) Administration of expertise: separation between ownership and management.
i) Professional.
j) Predictability: assumes that the behavior of all members is perfectly predictable.
As the concept of informal organization is not rational, it is not accepted by the bureaucracy, so the worker is seen only as occupier of a position that needs to respond by the set of tasks that are under its responsibility.
To stimulate the work discipline, the bureaucrat's official life is planned for him in terms of career, promotions, pensions and wages, and in exchange, it is expected that he adapts his thoughts, feelings and actions to the needs of the organization.
However, these factors increase the conformism and lead to exaggeration in the strict observation of rules, which results in conservatism and technicality. In the bureaucracy are considered the goals of the organization and not the people.
This means that the more bureaucratic an organization is, more people are parts of the bureaucratic machinery, settled for their purposes, without creativity, initiative, and resistant to changes in their routines.
