PO vs. Entrepreneurial behavior | Main goal of PO: - Enhance the performance of the business - Alignment of goals, principal and agent --> entrepreneurial behavior as main path to achieve this goal --> firm performance gets better! |
PO and monitoring | Monitoring: Control of principal over agent The higher the PO, the smaller monitoring costs. Agents feel like owners, and they behave accordingly --> entrepreneurial behavior higher |
PO and high autonomy | --> less entrepreneurial behavior There need to be certain guidelines. |
Negative outcomes of PO | - Territoriality behaviors - Reluctance to share - Conflicts - Failure to delegate responsability - Destructive behavior |
