“…Entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship are also two concepts closely related to the notion of agency (see, for discussions of the link between these concepts, e.g., Kreuzer, Weber, Bley, & Wiethe-Körprich, 2017;Obschonka, Hahn, & ul Habib Bajwa, 2018). According to a rather broad definition, entrepreneurship describes the phenomenon of an individual investing time and effort to establish a new organisation that serves a certain purpose, such as offering products or services (Frese, 2009).…”

“…In other words, entrepreneurship is about value creation (Bruyat & Julien, 2001). The concept of intrapreneurship is used to describe any type of entrepreneurial effort conducted by employees within an existing organisation (Antoncic & Hisrich, 2001;Kreuzer et al, 2017). Constituent of intrapreneurship is that employees generate, promote, and realise ideas that lead to changes and innovations of organisational practices, routines, or structures (for a discussion of issues of intrapreneurship under the label of innovative work behaviour, see also Messmann & Mulder, 2017).…”

This chapter presents a discussion of the concept of agency. Agency is understood as a multifaceted construct describing the idea that human beings make choices, act on these choices, and thereby exercise influence on their own lives as well as their environment. We argue that the concept is discussed from three different perspectives in the literature-transformational, dispositional, and relational-that are each related to learning and development in work contexts. These perspectives do not reflect incompatible positions but rather different aspects of the same phenomena. The chapter also offers an avenue of insight into empirical studies that employ agency as a central concept as well as discussions about concepts that closely overlap with ideas of human beings as agents of power and influence.

“…This model suggests that agency at work includes three facets, namely agency competence, agency beliefs, and agency personality (see also . In their study, Kreuzer et al (2017) perceive intrapreneurship competence as a manifestation of agency at work; that is, agency is the competence to think and act in an innovative manner in challenging and varying situations at work.…”

The concept of agency has recently emerged as a fruitful construct in understanding organizational practices and development. However, agency has tended so far to be seen as a rational and goal-oriented phenomenon, with little attention paid to the role of emotions within it. There is thus a need for theoretical discussion on both agency and emotions in organizations, and also on how the two phenomena are related. This paper aims to introduce an elaborated conceptualization of emotional agency at work, based on recent theories on professional agency and emotions in organizational contexts. We suggest that emotional agency can be understood as the competence to perceive, understand, and take into account one’s own emotions and those of others, and further to influence emotions within organizational practices, actions, and interactions. Our paper provides an integrative definition of emotional agency at work (EAW), usable in future research. It also elaborates how emotional agency may function within organizations and their development practices.
