agency-structure debate  

Définition

  • The agency-structure debate involves claims about the status of social entities, the degree of freedom/ constraint of agency, and the grounds upon which knowledge about these matters is established. Engaging with discussions in the philosophy of science, in social theory, sociology, or psychology, participants in organization studies most prominently debate to what extent organization derives from agency exercised by its members or results from structures enabling and/or constraining such agency.
