A Terrible Efficiency: Vertical Trust Networks in the Nazi Bureaucracy [This chapter discusses the role of vertical trust—the trust that governs the relationship between superiors and subordinates in an organization—in determining both the capacity for efficient behavior within a bureau and the level of productivity of the subordinates within the bureau. Vertical trust is determined by a number of factors that are measurable, such as the frequency of promotions within the bureaucracy and the perquisites available to subordinates in the bureaucracy, which include bonuses and other benefits and awards. Examples of the factors present in the Nazi bureaucracy that are discussed in this chapter include advancement and perquisites in the SS, and rewards to those who orchestrated the Reichstag fire, which established Adolf Hitler’s dictatorship in 1933.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter discusses the role of vertical trust—the trust that governs the relationship between superiors and subordinates in an organization—in determining both the capacity for efficient behavior within a bureau and the level of productivity of the subordinates within the bureau. Vertical trust is determined by a number of factors that are measurable, such as the frequency of promotions within the bureaucracy and the perquisites available to subordinates in the bureaucracy, which include bonuses and other benefits and awards. Examples of the factors present in the Nazi bureaucracy that are discussed in this chapter include advancement and perquisites in the SS, and rewards to those who orchestrated the Reichstag fire, which established Adolf Hitler’s dictatorship in 1933.]
