Key demand of the question.
The question wants us to write in detail about the meaning and issues faced under a bureaucratic work culture and also write in detail as to how we can deal with the issues therein.
Structure of the answer
Introduction– write a few introductory lines about the work culture. E.g mention the meaning of work culture and highlight what signifies bureaucratic work culture.
Body-
- Discuss the key issues and problems faced under a bureaucratic work culture. E.g lack of transparency; Seemingly Useless Policies; Lack of Decision-Making Ability; Endless Paperwork and Red Tape etc.
- Discuss how can we solve those issues and problems. E.g There’s really no guaranteed way to gain insight into your organisation’s inner workings. So we need to regularly communicate with your supervisor and ask what he or she knows about certain situations; It helps us to accept (and enforce) rules better if we are able to get more information about those reasons; By setting the correct expectations with anyone involved, you’ll eliminate the frustration that would have come with impossible or out of reach promises; rules and policies are there because they make it possible for business to run smoothly. They may be frustrating, but they’re not going anywhere. But by adjusting the way you deal with the bureaucracy, you’ll be able to more easily navigate the waters—and you’ll make a big difference in your everyday work life etc.
Conclusion- based on your discussion, form a fair and a balanced conclusion on the given issue.
