Alocal newspaper has reported that a well-liked elected official in a community has awarded a lucrative government contract to someone she knows without consulting community members. although there were many companies bidding for the work, her friend's company was priced the lowest and had excellent references. furthermore, her predecessors always consulted the community prior to these decisions, even though they were not legally obligated to do so. even though she has not broken any laws, several of her constituents are calling for her to be removed from office. which is an argument based on rational–legal authority?

Employees are asking their friend to be removed from office because her predecessors always consulted with the community before decisions and this is not provided by law.

Explanation:

According to German sociologist Max Weber, Rational legal authority is the acceptance of authority based on the legality of laws and regulations. This authority is related to legal domination, accepted by all, with a prescriptive and normative legitimacy, according to the law. That is, according to the concepts of the legal rational authority, everything that the leader allows must be in the legality of the laws and the regulations.

Weber considered rational legal authority to be the most efficient form of leadership because it enables the organization to be conducted with precision, knowledge, subordination, and less friction.
