Abstract: 
11 hypotheses from agency theory, transaction cost analysis, and Ouchi's theoretical approach on the impact of environmental, Company and salespeople characteristics on the design of salesforce control systems (outcome- vs. behavior-based) are summarized and tested on a data set of 270 German sales organizations. Many of the hypotheses get empirical support. Contrary to hypothesis, however, salesforce size is negatively related to the use of behavior-based control in salesforces.
