Bureaucratic vs Democratic

bureaucratic VS The structure of the organization alone is not sufficient for the efficiency of the organization, the manpower of the organization employed in that structure also have an equally important part to play. In the absence of efficient and change personnel, even the effective structure power is a failure. Therefore humanity administration places a great potentiometer of importance to the study of personnel management. There be different types of personnel systems being honorable by different countries around the world. Two of which be * Bureaucratic system of personnel Democratic system of personnel BUREAUCRATIC SYSTEM OF PERSONNEL A personnel system where a body of public servants are organized in a hierarchical system which stands outside the sphere of public control. participatory SYSTEM OF PERSONNEL A personnel system where no one man has any more intrinsic right to official station than other. comparative ANALYSIS BETWEEN BUREAUCRATIC AND DEMOCRATIC Feature 1 Bureaucratic System The main feature of this system is that the officials are servants of the decreer in the fullest moxie of the term. They are responsible to him and him alone.It is through them that the ruler exercises his autocratic powers and they, being the agents of the ruler, in their turn, wield high authority over the people and are, as a rule deaf to public opinion. Democratic System There is no class division in the services. An employee may begin in the lowest grade of the public service and may progress to the top of the service. In every service methods of objective tests, like efficiency ratings and rating scales, have been established and promotions are ground upon these records there being absolutely no restriction on promotions from one class to another.Comparison While comparing the above contrasting feature of both the systems it became quite an evident that in Bureaucratic system the officials major concern is to be in accordance with the expectations of the ruler or government. They dont care near the general public because there public credibility or the decisions taken solely for the welfare of the public is not going to provide them benefit unless on the other hand if they take any decision which is not very likeable or favorable for the government then the officials might scene round frictions.Whereas in democratic system, different forms of evaluation methods are in practices and based on these standard methods the officials are promoted. Thats why the officials perform their duties efficiently to increase their ratings on these evaluations. So to sum it up, the major concern of attention of officials in bureaucratic system is the government or the rulers whereas the in democratic system, officials are not under authority of the government to the extent as the bureaucratic ones are. Therefore their major concern is their own better performance. Feature 2Bureaucratic System The officials are organized as a district branch of the government like those of the soldiers branch. They are recruited and trained on strict technical lines so as to make them expert administrators in their respective branches of administration. Thus, they have to apply their skill and experience to the solution of the problems of the civil government of the country just as the military officials have to apply their military skill to the defence of the country. Democratic System Educational requirements at the time of entrance are of a highly specialized ature rather than of a general character. The effort is made to secure persons already possessing the limited technical prepare fitting them to perform the work called for by the particular to be filled Comparison The bureaucratic system relies on the gentility and supervision of the officials. They dont go for the already specialized administrations rather they confide in hiring may be an amateur person and then developing and building him into a specialized professional after keeping him under a regress.The officials are given specific training according to the requirements of the department or branch of administration where they should be serving. The democratic system does not favor training inspite it relies on hiring already specialized officials to be appointed on the positions compatible with their qualifications and specialized skills. Bureaucratic system believes that every task is specific so to deal with it specific things should be provided whereas the democratic system believes that the specialized psyches should be hired, their specialization would be enough to manage almost anything.Feature 3 Bureaucratic System civic service becomes a district and permanent career, with a regular gradation of positions with fixed grades, salaries and other privileges and a set system of promotions. And with these grades, certain titles and honors also are attached which continue even after the retirement of the person. Thus, a district official clas s is created in the society with its own etiquette, powers and prerogatives. Democratic System No effort is made to make public service a life career.All the above mentioned requirements point to the fact that every individual has full freedom to figure government service at any stage and similarly distribute it whenever he pleases. Comparison It can be said that the bureaucratic system bonds an individual with it. Once the individual becomes the administrative official, the title and honors remain with him forever. It is due to the fact that the system works on their official a lot by providing them training and education.Whereas in democratic system, as the individual are hired with their own skills and specialization, the system does not bond the individual with them rather the official can leave wherever he wants or gets a more appealing opportunity. This shows that the bureaucratic system is appropriate and suitable for the country where the public sector has the major offic e in the economic says of the country, it wants to keep the skilled and educated manpower with the state whereas the democratic system backs the private sector, the specialized individuals are given charming offers by private enterprises due to which they opt out of the public sector.CONCLUSION Both the systems are efficient in their own respective domains, both need to adopt some improvements in their structure. The bureaucratic system should take care of the hazards of red tapism, corruption etc. which are common in this system. The democratic system also of necessity to amend itself. It should add some time to time training to their officials according to the changing trends of the society. Also in the countries where democratic system is practiced, the public sector should cite some incentives so that the officials stay along with the public sector.
