“…Structuration focuses primarily on the role of agents or actors in these processes, in relation to their practices . At the same time, Giddens' approach has been critiqued for an unsophisticated description of agents' situated motivations, reflexive monitoring and knowledgeability, through which they navigate other agents and institutionalised practices (Stones, 2005;Frie, 2011;Coad et al, 2015). That is, although gave a pivotal role to agents, he was not concerned with addressing their psychology in any depth: processes and constructs posited as operating within individuals, such as attitudes, beliefs and degree of knowledge, were given considerably less theoretical and empirical attention.…”

Despite each level of the multilevel perspective of sociotechnical transitions reflecting a different degree of structuration, structuration perspectives have been little used to help explain sociotechnical change and stasis. Here we show how ‘strong structuration’ can be used to theorise the role of agency in sociotechnical systems in a way that brings together psychological and sociological perspectives. Strong structuration gives weight not only to actors’ practices, but also to their experiences. Practices and structures are viewed as mutually influencing, as in Giddens’ original conception, but the role of situated, subjective experience is also explicitly acknowledged. Applying this perspective, we show how individual attitudes and beliefs in relation to a niche energy technology are influenced by experience of national economic and innovation policy environments, with in turn implications for expectations of action by self and others. The overall aim is to illustrate a framework that connects individual psychology to practice, with implications for sociotechnical structure. For this purpose we draw on case study data of European R&D stakeholder opinion of stationary hydrogen fuel cell applications for heat and power, focusing particularly on the contrasting situations of the UK, Germany and Spain

“…The latter, self-reflectiveness, echoes staffs' ongoing critical reflection on paper tools in day-to-day practice and how it helps achieve the overall goal of supporting people with intellectual disability to live good lives. Frie's (2011) description of agency as human action within the situated context helps to explain how staffs' nuanced perspectives of paper tools relate to their unique and situated practice insights. Further research is required to explore if and how staff transform their critical thinking about paperwork into their practice.…”

Background: Paperwork can transform organisational aims into action in group homes, but it can also be problematic for staff. The aim of this study was to explore frontline staff perspectives on paperwork in group homes for people with intellectual disability. Methods: Constructivist grounded theory methodology guided the study. Data were collected from 29 participants through semi-structured interviews, participant observations and journaling. Coding and sorting methods were used to analyse participants' perspectives. Results: Staff have nuanced paperwork perspectives. They described and evaluated paperwork in terms of its value and fit with resident-focused practice. They identified gaps in paperwork and reimagined its design and use. Conclusions: Frontline staffs' reflection suggests some paperwork hinders them from supporting residents well. This suggests organisations could consult better with staff to design paperwork that has a goodness of fit to their practice. Further research could explore how staff manage the limiting characteristics of paperwork.

“…For example, Orange (2011a) and Frie (2010Frie ( , 2011 specifically addressed issues of compassion and the capacity for dialogue not only in the clinical setting, but also in socio-political contexts. Stolorow's (2011a) recent work asks us to imagine "a society in which the obligation to provide a relational home for the emotional pain that is inherent in the traumatizing impact of our finitude has become a shared ethical principle .…”
