Resource summary
Agency Theory Description
We can be in an agentic state which may cause moral strain
In social situations we become the agent of someone else's will and follow orders
In such circumstances we will do things that we would not normally choose to do
This can create moral strain in the individual obeying the order
In the autonomous state we are free thinking and able to make our own decision
The theory believes we are socialised into an agentic state from a young age...
E.g. as children we learn to obey our parents and teachers and act as agents following social rules
