Organizations are structures formed by the
cooperation of different parts. The smallest problem encountered within an
organization is that it can reveal the consequences of entropy, which can break
the functioning and do. Just like in bureaucracies. Max Weber is focused on the
problems of organizing like other classical organization theorists. Weber
proved the principles of bureaucratic structures by moving from efficiency.
However, this ideal type of conceptualization has not been a standard feature
for every country and every era. The Turkish bureaucracy system, which has a
unique structure and inheritance has faced different problems over time. These
issues are examined through a distinction between organizational and functional
problems. This article aims to subject these problems to a current review from
a different point of view. For this, firstly the concept of bureaucracy and
Weberian Bureaucracy Theory will be examined. Then, the features and most
important problems of the Turkish Bureaucracy system will be focused on. In the
study, organizational problems such as centralism, organizational growth,
confidentiality and closeness in administration, and conservatism in
administration will be analyzed first. Secondly, functional problems such as
prescriptiveness and avoiding responsibility, politicization and nepotism in
the administration, corruption and bribery, and following up processes with
intermediaries will be examined and the study will be concluded. In the study,
the literature on the subject was searched and evaluated, and the obtained data
were analyzed with a comparative method. Consequently, from the past to the
present, problems of the Turkish bureaucracy system, also known as
bureau-pathology that solved the least and many problems require suitable and
lasting solutions immediately for a more efficient bureaucratic structure.
