Organizations are structures formed by the cooperation of different parts. The smallest problem encountered within an organization is that it can reveal the consequences of entropy, which can break the functioning and do. Just like in bureaucracies. Max Weber is focused on the problems of organizing like other classical organization theorists. Weber proved the principles of bureaucratic structures by moving from efficiency. However, this ideal type of conceptualization has not been a standard feature for every country and every era. The Turkish bureaucracy system, which has a unique structure and inheritance has faced different problems over time. These issues are examined through a distinction between organizational and functional problems. This article aims to subject these problems to a current review from a different point of view. For this, firstly the concept of bureaucracy and Weberian Bureaucracy Theory will be examined. Then, the features and most important problems of the Turkish Bureaucracy system will be focused on. In the study, organizational problems such as centralism, organizational growth, confidentiality and closeness in administration, and conservatism in administration will be analyzed first. Secondly, functional problems such as prescriptiveness and avoiding responsibility, politicization and nepotism in the administration, corruption and bribery, and following up processes with intermediaries will be examined and the study will be concluded. In the study, the literature on the subject was searched and evaluated, and the obtained data were analyzed with a comparative method. Consequently, from the past to the present, problems of the Turkish bureaucracy system, also known as bureau-pathology that solved the least and many problems require suitable and lasting solutions immediately for a more efficient bureaucratic structure.
