Max Weber on Organisation - Dictionary of Arguments
Habermas IV 453 Organisation/Weber/Habermas: Weber still imagined the activities of organisations as a kind of purpose-rational action on a large scale. Rationality/Weber: an organization is measured by the extent to which a company or institution enables or ensures purpose-rational action by its members. HabermasVsWeber: this purpose model has been abandoned because it cannot explain why organisations cannot solve their conservation problems only through the purpose-rational behaviour of their members. Habermas IV 454 Solution/Habermas: Nowadays, the reference point of system rationality is chosen: the rationalisable "knowledge" expresses itself in the ability of social systems to control themselves. As a result, purpose-rational behavior loses importance. Instead, it is about the functional contributions of places, programs and decisions that any states and elements can make to solve system problems. (1) See Freedom/Weber. 1.N.
