What is "Max Weber's theory of three rights"?

Weber believed that any organization must be based on some form of power. Without some form of power, no organization can achieve its goals.

There are three kinds of power accepted by society in human society: traditional authority (Traditional Authority): traditional practice or hereditary; for traditional authority, Weber believed that people obey it because the leader occupies a power position supported by tradition. At the same time,

Leaders are also bound by tradition.

However, people's obedience to traditional authority is not based on an order that has nothing to do with the individual, but on personal loyalty within the realm of customary obligations.

The role of leaders seems to be only to maintain tradition, so they are less efficient and are not suitable as the basis of an administrative organizational system.

Charisma Authority: comes from the admiration and following of others; the legitimacy of extraordinary power depends entirely on the belief in the leader. He must win followers with constant miracles and heroic deeds. Charisma power is too emotional.

And irrationally, not according to rules and regulations, but according to mystical revelations.

Therefore, extraordinary forms of power are not suitable as the basis of administrative organizational systems.

LegalAuthority: Reason - the power provided by law.
