agency

English to Romanian Art/Literary Philosophy
Please help me translate the word agency. It comes form an essay on Morals and Ethics. See below the context.
"The empathic response agency inspires us to take action to help others while the moral restraint agency censors and suppresses "immoral" actions and the thoughts which might lead to them. Together these make up the Society of Morality."
