The author feels the first hypothesis can be confirmed. The testing of these beliefs took place in Thailand. Performance tests were administered and measured. Organizational characteristics and performance were elaborated using the results of testing. The characteristics of bureaucrats and organizational performance were also measured. Personalities have little power over organizational performance. Further findings and definitions of variables are included in an appendix.
