Which of the following is not an ideal goal of a bureaucracy?

Organization by hierarchy
Efficiency
Division of labor by specialty
Ritualism
Regulation

Explanation

Answer: D - Ritualism, which is following rules even when they no longer meet the intended goal, is not an ideal goal of bureaucracy. Ritualism is one of the problems that bureaucracies face. A strict adherence to rules and regulations can cause ritualism if rules and practices are not reevaluated over time to accommodate changing circumstances.
