Marketing Jobs and Management Controls: Toward a Framework

Jaworski, Bernard J., Macinnis, Deborah J.·1989·Journal of Marketing Research

Abstract

The authors consider the relationships among two characteristics associated with senior marketing positions (procedural knowledge and performance documentation), four types of management controls, and three job-related minipathologies (job tension, dysfunctional behaviors, and information asymmetries between superiors and subordinates). Selected management control theory suggests that the characteristics of a given marketing position should predict managers’ reliance on specific types of management controls. In turn, these controls should directly predict the extent of job-related minipathologies. In contrast, contingency theories of control suggest that task characteristics moderate the direct effects of controls on these negative outcomes. In effect, they argue that whether outcomes are positive or negative depends on the extent to which controls “fit” a given marketing position. To test these ideas, a national survey of senior marketing personnel was conducted. Three sets of findings emerged. First, the two task characteristics studied generally predict the type of controls-in-use. Second, certain controls-in-use have a modest effect on specific minipathologies. Third, the moderating effect of task characteristics is not confirmed. Implications for marketing practice and directions for future research in marketing are proposed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
