In making this distinction we have been largely guided by Giddens' structuration theory (Giddens 1984) which treats structure and human agency as complementary rather than contradictory, in that structures are created by human beings and hence subject to change by people. A structural variable in this study, therefore, means something determined by rules set by political actors, while a behavioural variable means something not determined by rules set by political actors. The latter is the 'agency' in the agencies we study here.
It can convincingly be argued that without such rules the organization would lose its ability to achieve its publicly stated goals. Institutionalized rules shape policy implementation through coercive, mimetic and normative mechanisms. Coercive pressures occur when organizations adapt institutionalized rules because their prescriptions are sanctioned by legislatures or other bodies with the capacity to impart or withdraw funding and legitimacy. If these rules become too detailed they may confine the organization's ability to perform and thus undercut its ability to achieve stated goals.
