Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bureaucracy separates the position from the person, which means that the roles and responsibilities are defined by the position itself rather than the individual characteristics or preferences of the person holding that position. This is a fundamental principle of bureaucratic organizations, aiming to ensure impartiality and a consistent application of rules and procedures.
