Which one of the following is not correct according to Weber's Charismatic Authority ?

  • A.It is based on the exceptional qualities of the leader.
  • B.Administration under this authority is stable.
  • C.There is no hierarchical assignment of tasks under this authority.
  • D.On the death of a leader under this authority, the question of succession arises.

Answer: B

Under Weber's charismatic authority, obedience rests on the exceptional qualities of the leader, there is no hierarchy or fixed assignment of tasks, and the question of succession arises when the leader dies. Administration under this authority is therefore not stable: it is personal, emotional and unstable, and it must be routinised into traditional or legal-rational authority after the leader. The statement that administration is stable is the one that is not correct, which makes option B the answer.
