"ИДЕАЛЫ" МАКСА ВЕБЕРА И ПРАКТИЧЕСКИЕ ВОЗМОЖНОСТИ ИХ ПРИМЕНЕНИЯ В СОВРЕМЕННОМ УПРАВЛЕНИИ

Abstract

The article considers the main types of legitimate domination ac- cording to Max Weber, which cannot exist without mutual interest in manage- ment and subordination; for full-fledged domination, a “headquarters” is usual- ly needed, that is, a group of trusted people implementing general instructions; domination cannot do without faith in the legitimacy of management. On the basis thereof the scientist identifies three types of legitimate domination: ra- tional-legal, traditional and charismatic. Each of them, as a rule, is determined by the nature of the motives of the interested parties: whether it is material interest, value-rational motives or emotional attachment. The most famous model is considered to be “bureaucratic”. Its key elements include the division of labor; a stable hierarchy of power, formed according to the official principle; permanent payments, a system of fixed rules governing the activities of the organization; the objectivity of the head and the high level of qualification of employees corresponding to their competence. The second traditional model is based on the faith of traditions and the personal rights of the person in power. It is no longer just a boss, but an absolute overlord who manages not employees, but subjects. That is, there is a complete opposite of the rational-legal type: subordination is not conditioned by an objective con- tract, but by the importance of the role of the dominant person, who, due to the established culture, has no restrictions at all, is capable of arbitrariness and requires unconditional personal devotion from subordinates. The third model takes into account the charismatic characteristics of the leader, revered by his followers. The authors of the article are tasked to study, first of all, the strengths of the rational-legal model against the background of other alternative types of domination, as well as to address criticism that allows identifying shortcomings that were not taken into account personally by M. Weber. The result of the study is to determine the impact of his organizational concept on modern society.
