AnswerClick to flip back
A
The alignment of incentives between principals and agents
💡 Explanation:
Agency theory is primarily concerned with the alignment of incentives between principals (those who hire agents) and agents (those who are hired to perform tasks on behalf of principals). This alignment is important to ensure that agents act in the best interests of principals and that the goals of both parties are met.
