| Abstract: | This manuscript provides needed clarification of a number of key constructs in the area of managerial control, a much discussed but inadequately studied phenomenon within the organization sciences. Further, the carefully designed field study provides clear evidence of the importance of both behavioral and self control in the management of complex organizational tasks. Control theory attempts to explain how one person or group in an organization can ensure that another person or group works toward and attains a set of organizational goals. |
