Research On Bureaucratization Of Cyber Non-Governmental Organizations

With the popularization of network technology, a number of cyber non-governmental organizations based on internet have emerged. The existed research considers that organification is a genuine developmental trend of cyber grassroots organizations from the vision of Techno-Determinism. However, the dissertation finds out that Maitian's organization form is "Organic" during the initial founding days and it has changed into bureaucratization with the growth of its scale through the Participatory observation.Adopting the definition of Hannan and Freeman, discompose the organization form of "Maitian project" of organization Structure, model order and models of activities, and found by further investigation:First, the innovative use of network technology in organizations may not make the organization form tend to "Organic"; while the research on the organization form should go beyond the primitive Techno-Determinism and take the broader institutional environment as well as more realistic micro-operation Dynamic into account. The bureaucratization of the cyber grassroots organizations shows that the reasonable core of bureaucratization is still vital even in the fast development of information technology today. As an ideal organic tissue of cyber grassroots organizations, it may operate in harmony when the scare of the organization unceasingly expands with the reasonable core of the bureaucracy.Second, the bureaucratization change of Maitian's organization form is a process of "Charimas" authority rendering routinization, namely the process of rationalization of the organization. However, at different stages, the mechanisms dominating the bureaucratization change are slightly different. In growing period, it is dominated by"efficiency mechanism", while by "power mechanism" in stable period; and the "legality mechanism" is the restricting factors for choosing what kind of organization forms throughout.Above investigation results about transition of organization form of cyber non-governmental organizations provides the new evidence for the fable of irrevocably bureaucratization and the opinion of Bureaucracy has tools reasonable. It is in favor of rediscovering the relationship between bureaucracy and organic organization and proposes a new topic of Public domain and social administration in our country.
