management research highlight the need to resolve certain plexities of the variable. For example. performance feedback can be both positive and negative. Perhaps. for the sales organizations surveyed, there has been a greater tendency to provide negative feedback for performance shortcomings than to provide positive feedback for performance excellence. In this situation, increased performance feedback would tend to be associated with increased negative feedback which, in turn, would reduce job satisfaction. Methodological shortcomings associated with our re-search and with much of the previous salesforce management research highlights the need to resolve certain methodological problems in future studies. First, method variance is a common problem in the salesforce management literature. An effort therefore should be made to obtain measures for at least some of the variables from sources other than the sales personnel being studied. Fur example, multiple indicators of leader behavior could be obtained via questions directed to the leaders them-selves, or to the leaders' peers or managerial superiors. Second, descriptive, or even experimental, longitudinal research designs would be useful in providing evidence of causation which cannot be obtained in descriptive cross-sectional designs. For example, although difficult to implement, field experiments could be con-ducted with communication variables as treatments and salesforce job satisfaction, role stress, and turnover as dependent variables. Third, a contingency perspective of selling jobs needs to be developed to examine possible differences across selling jobs that alter structural relationships among supervisory behavior variables and salesforce job perceptions. Perhaps moderator variables, such as selling task characteristics or the salesperson's tolerance (or role stress, moderate the structural relationships among supervisory behavior, role stress, and job satisfaction in
