Abstract

Agency theory is one of the most important foundational theories in management research, but it rests on tenuous cognitive assumptions.

This allows us to systematically show how the principal’s ability to mentalize with the agent influences value creation in principal-agent relations, and to link this to organizational sensemaking instruments.
