ABSTRACT This paper addresses the issue of agent style-proactive and reactive-from a theoretical perspective. The results show that agent style, though often considered key in decision making, only affects the organization's performance when the organization is under moderate time pressure. Further, the effect of agent style depends on the type of training given to organizational agents and the internal condition under which the organization operates. This research suggests that, when resources are scarce, organizations should spend these resources on organizational design and on increasing the accuracy of incoming information rather than on altering the agents' style.
They proposed evaluating the effect of agent style and found that it depends on how the agent is trained and the internal condition under which it operates REF .
