FERREIRA, Teresa Santos. Motivational factors in sales team management and their influence on individual performance. TMStudies [online]. 2017, vol.13, n.1, pp.60-65. ISSN 2182-8458.

The results show that the intrinsic factors that best explain sales teams' motivation are ‘personal goals' and ‘skills acquired'. Extrinsic factors that best explain motivation in this context are ‘transparency and loyalty in interactions with bosses' and ‘trust in the company'. ‘Participation in the growth of the company's business' and ‘attitude' are the factors that most influence team performance in terms of results and behaviour, respectively
