Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Agency problems arise due to conflicts between the interests of the principal (owners of the company) and the agent (managers who run the company on behalf of the owners). One common concern of managers is to maximize their personal wealth, which may conflict with the owners' interests. Similarly, managers may also seek to enhance their job security and receive company-provided benefits that owners may perceive as excessive. However, a manager's concern about corporate goals is not likely to contribute to agency problems, as long as these goals are aligned with the owners' interests.
