AB  - This  article  argues  that  the  notion  of  authority  involves  key  theoretical  and  institutional issues. Drawing on McMahon, I define authority as a collective and normative device  whose  justification  is  to  facilitate  mutually  beneficial  cooperation  among  people  with divergent aims. I then show that agency theory, the economic theory of the firm that normatively influenced the shareholder governance model, denies that authority is a core attribute of firms. By contrast, an authority-based theory of the firm normatively demands that  firms  are  governed  by  reflexive  authority,  a  kind  of  workplace  democracy  in  which  the authoritative directives guiding workers’ behavior are collectively determined. I end by suggesting co-determination as a possible form of reflexive authority.
