Abstract: (9264 Views)
The present article discuses the foundation of administrative reforms of Reza Shah, which have had positive and negative consequences. The presence and continuation of the culture of dictatorship, along with the despotic way and enforcement of personal whims, are some of those results. Another goal of this article is to show that despite of the little changes that took place in the way of reform, a true foundation in the administrative system of the country was not implemented. During that time too, undesirable and destructive characteristics of administrative system, like favoritism, familism, obedience, lack of trust, sycophancy, corruption, lawlessness and irrationality remained and sometimes were even strengthened.
Keywords: Bureaucracy, Destructive Elements in Bureaucracy, Political Elements, Administrative Reform, Political Culture of Authoritarianism, Modernization
