Question : Task orientation is represented by
which number?
Answers
Answer:
Workflow bureaucracy or well-oiled machine
This organisation type appears to be the one most suited to EDRMS implementation. There is likely to be a bias towards technological solutions, coupled with a task orientation. Furthermore, the characteristic of openness with information suggest that concerns about unauthorised access within the organisation are not likely to present difficulties. Also, if there is recognition of the need for later, societal access to records then there is likely to be a pre-disposition to ensuring that records are created and managed appropriately as part of routine working requirements.
Problems associated with the other organisation types and the need to justify records management, and to restrict access to information, are not characteristic of the workflow bureaucracy. Although the EDRMS may necessitate different ways of working, the fundamental task of recordkeeping is more likely to be familiar and accepted in this environment. All legislative and standards-related requirements to recordkeeping should be made explicit, as these are likely to be respected and followed. Access restrictions will of course be necessary still, but these will reflect regulatory requirements such as privacy concerns. Once again, the motivation for restrictions must be made clear.
