Hipacracy is a term coined to describe a blend of hypocrisy and bureaucracy, often highlighting the contradictions and inefficiencies found within bureaucratic systems that fail to uphold their stated values or principles. It suggests that organizations or institutions may outwardly promote ideals such as transparency or accountability, while internally operating in ways that contradict these values. This phenomenon can lead to disillusionment and frustration among individuals who encounter the gap between rhetoric and reality.
