Organization of the public bureaucracy describes the process of achieving goals in which statuses and roles of persons organized under the regulation of law. The regulations have functions to guide, control, supervise, and protect the social change process. There are many problems identified with the practice of public bureaucracy as one of an agent that directs social changes. The principles of practicing public bureaucracy provide many guidance such as rational and objective, impersonal, formal, procedures. Ineffective function of the regulation will affect the goal achievement. Deviation of political behavior shown if the regulation of law is practiced as a tool of power, it causes the processes of public bureaucracy organization could not deliver services optimally to the community.
