Abstract

Previous studies on salesperson's performance have concentrated on increasing job satisfaction through compensations and benefits or effective communication processes and have not sufficiently considered the emotional aspect of salesperson's selling behaviors. The purpose of this study is to investigate informal learning and positive psychological capital on the relationship between job satisfaction and customer orientation of IT salespeople. Data were collected from 159 IT salespeople and analyzed by structural equation modeling (SEM). As a result, it was found that the informal learning of IT salesperson had a significantly positive impact on positive psychological capital. Positive psychological capital was significantly affect on job satisfaction and customer orientation. Positive psychological capital mediated the relationship between informal learning and job satisfaction/customer orientation. The results of this study suggest that there is a need to develop informal learning based on positive psychology and to strengthen the reflected job satisfaction and customer orientation.

영업사원에 관한 기존의 연구들은 주로 성과 등을 통한 영업사원의 만족이나 커뮤니케이션 증대 등을 통한 영업 방식에 중점을 두었다. 본 연구는 IT 영업사원의 무형식 학습과 긍정심리자본이 직무만족 및 고객지향성 간에 대하여 어떻게 영향을 미치는가를 검증하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 3개 회사를 선정하여 159명의 IT 영업사원으로부터 자료를 수집하고 구조방정식모형 (SEM)으로 분석하였다. 연구결과, IT 영업사원의 무형식 학습은 긍정심리자본과 유의한 정적 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 긍정심리자본과 직무만족 및 고객지향성도 모두 유의한 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 매개효과를 확인하기 위해 부트스트래핑으로 분석한 결과, 긍정심리자본은 무형식 학습과 직무만족 및 고객지향성 간의 관계에 대하여 매개효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구의 결과는 긍정심리학으로 기반으로 한 무형식 학습을 개발하고, 이를 반영하여 직무만족 및 고객지향성을 강화할 수 있는 필요가 있다는 것을 함의한다.
