While/ to employ claim/ courses of action/

While there are many general explanatory models of why organizational policies take the form that they do (see, for example, Sabatier 2007) most of these rely upon abstract assumptions about human behaviour, such as the claim that people employ forms of means-end rationality when deciding upon courses of action (Hindmoor 2006).


‘While’ can have several different roles, but in this sentence, what is it supposed to mean?

claim that people employ -> could you tell me how I can understand this part? (Can people employ claim??)

forms of means-end rationality -> this one also.

courses of action -> what does that mean?


thank you.
