Szakértői szervezetek autonómiája = Autonomy és expert organizations

Abstract

Specialization, as base for the establishment of organizational structure obviously determined the process of organization building in the XX. century. Nevertheless, this phenomenon was not observed first at industrial productive organizations, it developed from specialties of academic, health care, legal and judicial structures. As a result, this organizational specialty is typical of the so-called expert structures (expertocracy). The point of it is that professional area is getting narrower for which people are trained, and activity is also getting narrower, which has to be performed by members of an organization. The base for this specialization is the principle of professionalization. Expert autonomy may easily be understood in these structures, and organizational autonomy is also based on it. This essay analyzes in details those factors, which influence organizational autonomy and introduces those managerial and organizational peculiarities, which characterize expert structures.
