teoria da agência , teoria das organizações, Revisão da literaturaResumo
A teoria da agência é uma importante teoria, ainda que seja controversa. Este artigo traz uma revisão sobre a teoria da agencia, suas contribuições para a teoria das organizações e do trabalho empírico existente bem como desenvolve proposições testáveis. As conclusões são de que a teoria da agência oferece uma visão única sobre sistemas de informação, incerteza dos resultados, incentivos risco e é uma perspectiva empírica válida, principalmente quando combinada com perspectivas complementares. A recomendação principal é incorporar uma perspectiva agência em estudos sobre os muitos problemas que têm uma estrutura cooperativa.
