TOWARD A STEWARDSHIP THEORY OF MANAGEMENT
对比了代理理论与管家理论对人性假设的差异，提出基于下属心理属性和组织情境特征的整合模型，帮助理解管理者行为动机。
Recent thinking about top management has been influenced by alternative models of man.1 Economic approaches to governance such as agency theory tend to assume some form of homo-economicus, which depict subordinates as individualistic, opportunistic, and self-serving. Alternatively, sociological and psychological approaches to governance such as stewardship theory depict subordinates as collectivists, pro-organizational, and trustworthy. Through this research, we attempt to reconcile the differences between these assumptions by proposing a model based upon the subordinate's psychological attributes and the organization's situational characteristics.
