Merton Model Of Functional Analysis

Merton model of functional analysis is the result of the development of a comprehensive knowledge of classical theorists. Then Merton observed some things in bureaucratic organizations moderennya namely:a. Bureaucracy is a social structure organized in a rational and formal.b. It includes a pattern of activities which have clear boundariesc. Such activities are ideally related to organizational goalsd. Positions in the organization are integrated into the overall structure of the bureaucracy.e. Status-status in the bureaucracy organized into a hierarchical arrangement.f. Various obligations and rights are limited by d in the bureaucratic rules that limited and detailedg. Authority of the office, not on theh. Relationships between people formally diabtasi
     Merton did not stop with the description of stuktrul, but continue to discuss the personality as a product of the structural organization. Bureaucratic structures put pressure on individuals so that they become "disciplined, thoughtful, methodical". But this pressure sometimes leads to adherence to follow rules blindly without considering the purpose and functions of rules for what it was originally made. Although these rules may serve to efficiency of the organization, but such rules may also provide a negative function by causing excessive compliance. This could lead to conflicts or tensions between bureaucrats and people who have them serve.
      Functionality based on the theory of Merton, then problems such as musicians, led by Dani Dahlah met the Minister of Culture and Creative Industries objected to complain, because there is a downloadable music service through the intenet with very cheap prices and lots of alternative songs presented. Thus the society no longer need to buy a disc or tape that they lead to the musicians at a disadvantage, then the minister of culture based on laws and legal process should be creative provider of music services that can be downloaded via the Internet at a low price but do not have a license to distribute. The music lovers (consumer) actually also be confused, because the customer knows that the act of buying low on a web site that does not have a license to distribute are breaking the law, but the price of music to disc or tape is much more expensive than existing on the site . But the rules still rule, and the minister of culture and industry must comply. Bureaucratic structure of the personality type that can deliver better adhere to what is written rather than the spirit of that rule is applied.
