Abstract
An organization reveals a behavioral pattern in which a manager and his/her subordinates play different roles in order to achieve its organizational goal. In this pattern, a manager is called a principal and his/her subordinates are called agents, and their relations and actions to achieve the organizational goal have been generalized as a model called "Agency Model." In this paper, we will reveal the existence of a gap between the goal of a principal and the result of agents' actions. Also, we will propose a way to measure agents' efforts using the Agency Model, which may result in the closure of the gap.
