Bureaucratic Inertia is an organizational structure that promotes out-of-date practices and ineffective procedures that no longer fit the company. This organizational structure leads to poor morale because it stunts progress. It also causes conflict between employees of different hierarchical levels and bad client service. A well-designed organization will empower the employees to work effectively.
Organizational Inertia is the inability of an organization to adapt to internal changes triggered by external events. In most cases, the organization’s response is based on past experiences, even if external events occurred earlier.
Many outdated practices occur in organizations, which is what bureaucratic Inertia is about. For example, the old system of tracking employees’ productivity by monitoring the number of hours they have been at the office. Many organizations are diverting from traditional practices and monitoring employee productivity rather than tracking work hours.
