中世纪修道院的分析是基于韦伯的理性化过程的概念，因为它们代表了这一过程中的一个重要插曲。他们是西方第一个精心设计的组织。这些合理设计的工作组织和僧侣创造的清教徒工作伦理导致了巨大财富的积累，这与在贫困中进行苦行的理想是不相容的。因此，中世纪的修道院，没有留下自决的空间，提供了官僚机构的“铁笼”的第一个例子。
Medieval monasteries are analysed on the basis of Weber's concept of the process of rationalization, since they represent an important episode in this process. They were the first deliberately designed organization in the Occident. These rationally designed work organizations and the puritan work ethic created by the monks led to the accumulation of immense wealth which was incompatible with the ideal of an ascetic life conducted in poverty. Thus, medieval monasteries, leaving no room for self-determination, provide the first example of the 'iron cage' of bureaucracies.
