Public organizations are compound bodies characterized by competing endogenous dynamics of governance. This study makes two main contributions. First, it contributes to an organizational approach to studies of public policy and administration by conceptualizing compound agency governance. Second, by determining how variation in agency governance reflects endogenous organizational factors. Based on a study of the Norwegian Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (DSA), two observations are highlighted: Firstly, DSA staff are torn between two competing behavioural logics: A governmental and a transnational logic. Moreover, portfolios of core state powers are more closely monitored by parent ministries than portfolios that relate to non-core state powers. Secondly, the study suggests that organizational factors are vital determents in balancing behavioral logics in agency governance.

公共组织是具有内生竞争特征的复合体治理动态。这项研究有两个主要贡献。首先，它通过对复合机构治理的概念化，为公共政策和行政研究的组织方法做出贡献。其次，通过确定机构治理的变化如何反映内生组织因素。根据对挪威辐射和核安全局 (DSA) 的一项研究，有两个观察结果值得强调：首先，DSA 工作人员在两种相互竞争的行为逻辑之间左右为难：政府逻辑和跨国逻辑。此外，与非核心国家权力相关的投资组合相比，核心国家权力的投资组合受到上级部委的更密切的监控。其次，该研究表明，组织因素是平衡代理治理中行为逻辑的重要因素。
