Abstract
This paper challenges and extends organizational control theory by examining how managerial controls adapt in remote work settings. Using interview and diary data from managers of remote staff, the study reveals a strong reliance on attitude monitoring as a control mechanism, extending Ouchi's Behavior-Output control framework. The findings highlight the theoretical implications and develop propositions to guide further research on informal controls in both distributed and co-located organizations.
