Abstract
The structural allocation of decisionmaking power between political authorities and career civil servants influences agency policy behavior.

Centralization of power to political authorities increases agency attention to electoral concerns such as visitor service. Empowerment of careerists enhances attention to long‐term agency goals such as preservation of natural resources.
