Mustafa Emirbayer,Ann Mische +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conceptualize agency as a temporally embedded process of social engagement, informed by the past (in its "iterational" or habitual aspect) but also oriented toward the future (as a projective capacity to imagine alternative possibilities) and toward the present, as a practical-evaluative capacity to contextualize past habits and future projects within the contingencies of the moment.

Jennifer Crocker,Brenda Major +1 more

Targets of Opportunity : Organizational and Environmental Determinants of Gender Integration within the California Civil Service, 1979-1985
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined how organizational dynamics affected rates of gender integration among California states agencies between 1979 and 1985 and found that progress toward gender integration has been substantially influenced by the degree of external pressure and bulnerability, the relative sizes of various internal interest groups that favor or oppose integration, the extent of structural inertia to which an organization is prone by virtue of its size and age, and by characteristics of agency leadership.
