Abstract

Researchers have only recently focused attention on the importance of sales manager gender. Our study examines manager gender differences relative to behavior-based approaches to sales management control, and the consequences in salesperson attitudes, job stress, and work outcomes. Findings suggest that female field sales managers employ higher levels of behavior- control than males. Teams led by female managers display different and favorable attitudes, stress characteristics and work outcomes to those managed by male executives.
