Abstract
This study investigated the organizational rationality of public, private, and multinational organizations in Turkey using a questionnaire developed based on the theories of German sociologist Max Weber. The questionnaire assessed the extent to which four dimensions of formal rationality: efficiency, predictability, calculability, and control, existed in the three types of organizations as perceived by the employees. Questionnaire data were collected from 237 respondents working in various sectors. In all four dimensions, multinational organizations were found to stay above Turkish organizations. Amongst Turkish organizations, private organizations scored higher than public organizations.
