Define the Construct • The concept of agency pertains to people who characteristically seek autonomy; they seek to master and assimilate the environment by striving for individuality and superiority. Highly agentic people seek self-protection, self-assertion, and self-expansion, and more generally, are competitive, and achievement-oriented. They identify and set goals and do what it takes to achieve them. Interpersonally, they seek success by competing, and not cooperating, with others. They can be warm and friendly, but this behavior is often used to achieve goals that are not interpersonally oriented. They strive for power over others. When the concept is viewed as a personality dimension, the characteristics associated with the positive pole, i.e. power, mastery, and assertion, can be contrasted with the characteristics associated with the negative pole, i.e. passivity, weakness, failure, and submission.
