Absence of Adoption: 

weber’s model has remained as a model only. It doesn’t exist in the practical field.

Absence of Individual Freedom: 

There in nothing like individual freedom in weber’s model for workers. But it is essential to work freely to achieve the purpose.

Competency: 

Members are needed to be employed outside the merit and technical competency for the well-being of an organization.

Focusing on Public Bureaucracy: 

Max Weber’s theory only focused on public bureaucracy, not in private sector. His model is not effective in public sector bureaucracy only.

Importance of Informal Relation: 

Impersonality declines the importance of informal relation on unofficial contacts which is essential sometimes on an organization.

Hierarchical Pattern: 

The superiors order the subordinates and accordingly they perform. That does not always help to achieve the particular goal of an organization.

Max Weber’s bureaucracy model actually focused on process, not on the result of actions which are more important.
