Bureaucracy is considered as one of the world’s today processes and modern world. Following the expansion of the thought of rationalism under the Renaissance in the West along with the growing increase in the world's population, the concept of instrumental rationality and, consequently, bureaucracy has been expanded. In this regard, the influence of functionalism theory is significant as one of the ideas of the modern age. The functionalism theory, due to its systematic process and the emphasis on structures and functions, can contribute to the formation and development of bureaucracy. Iran is one of the developing countries where functionalism theory can play a significant role in expanding bureaucracy and its cultural structure as a result of adaptation to modern conditions. Therefore, it is important to study the impact of functionalism on the bureaucratic process and cultural structure of Iran. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of functionalism theory on the bureaucratic and cultural structure of Iran. The main question of the research is: what the impact of functionalism theory on the scope of bureaucracy and cultural structure in Iran is. The research hypothesis suggests that the principles of functionalism theory and variables of the Model can play an important role in the development of bureaucracy and structure of culture. This research uses a descriptive-analytical method and theoretical framework of functionalism. The library study on valid text shows that the hegemony of functionalism theory leads to the growth of bureaucracy and the formation of systemic culture and the increase of efficiency of the political system.
