Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Opportunism, or shirking, primarily occurs due to the tendency of agents (such as employees or managers) to seek their own interests, possibly at the expense of their principals' (such as employers or shareholders) interests. This is a fundamental concept in agency theory, where there is a conflict of interest between the agent and the principal. Choices B, C, and D do not inherently cause opportunism.
