본 연구에서는 판매원의 적응판매(adaptive selling)에 미치는 목적지향성(goal orientation)의 효과를 검증하였다. 판매원의 목적지향성에 영향을 미치는 요소로서 판매관리자 지향성(supervisory orientation)과 동료 피드백(coworker feedback)을 고려하였다. 판매관리자 지향성온 최종성과 지향성(end-results orientation)과 능력지향성(equability orientation)으로 구분하였고, 동료 피드백은 행동피드백(behavioral feedback)과 실적피드백(output feedback)으로 구분하였다. 판매원의 목적지향성은 학습지향성(teaming orientation)과 성과지향성 (performance orientation)으로 구분하였다. 이들 개념들 간의 관계를 가설로 설정한 후, 자동차 영업사원을 대상으로 실증분석을 하였다. 분석결과, 판매관리자의 최종성과지향성은 판매원의 학습지향성 및 성과지향성에 정적인 영향을 미치고, 동료의 실적피드백은 판매원의 성과지향에 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 판매원의 학습지향성은 적응판매에 정적인 영향을 미치나, 성과지향성에는 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 관리적 시사점을 제시하였다.

Total 223 copies of questionnaire were used for final analysis. Frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, exploration factor analysis, and reliability analysis were conducted through SPSS 18.0 for final analysis, and path analysis was conducted through AMOS 18.0 for verification of hypotheses. The hypothesized relationships among the models were tested simultaneously by using a structure equation model(SEM). The proposed model provided an adequate fit to the date, $X^2$ = 143.934(df=120, p<.001), GFI=0.935. AGFI= 0.907, RMR=0.022, CFI=0.983. The study results are as follows.

Data was collected from 125 sales teams, and both independent and dependent variables were measured with a time difference of two months using responses from sales managers and team members. The empirical analysis revealed several important findings. Firstly, the study found that issue leadership had a significant positive effect on sales team performance. Secondly, team adaptive sales behavior was found to partially mediate the relationship between issue leadership and sales team performance. Lastly, the study revealed that TMX moderated the relationship between issue leadership and sales team performance. These findings have significant academic and practical implications. Firstly, the study demonstrates the effectiveness of issue leadership as a sales leadership style in the B2C industry. Secondly, it highlights the importance of team adaptive sales behavior as a mechanism that mediates the relationship between issue leadership and sales team performance.

This study conducted in-depth interviews with 5 successful and 6 unsuccessful sales persons and analyzed their activities to further clarify the concepts of learning orientation, performance orientation, working smart, working hard and adaptive selling which have been reported as antecedents of sales persons' performances. We found that successful sales persons had their own distinctive characteristics. First, they regarded their selling activities as a part of their lives, not as a task, and were proud of themselves. Second, they perceived their weaknesses from most of activity areas, voluntarily participated in educational programs, and studied not only their products but also competitive products. Third, successful sales persons conducted customer-oriented activities. They collected data on their customers' personal records, developed customer typology by styles or personalities, and consulted their customers using those data. Fourth, successful sales people carefully prepared their meetings with customers across steps in selling processes and they did their best to develop long term relationship with their customers. These results provide useful implications about objective evaluations on sales persons' customer orientations and adaptive selling abilities, and also clarify the concepts of 'working smart' and 'adaptive selling'.

구매 의사 결정 과정에서 구매자는 상품 정보와 가격 정보를 필요로 한다. 웹상의 판매자 위주의 시장으로부터 필요한 정보를 수집하려면, 구매자는 매번 구매 때마다 판매자의 사이트를 검색해야 한다. 심지어 구매자가 거래하고 있는 판매자로부터 과거에 구매한 경험이 있는 아이템을 구매하는 경우에도 마찬가지이다. 현재의 전자상거래 환경에서는, 이렇게 기억을 활용하지 않고(memory-less) 검색에만 의존하는 구매자의 행태가 일반적이다. 이 현상을 조직의 구매 경험이 구성원들에게 공유되어야 하는 기업 구매자의 경우에 있어서는 대단히 낭비적인 요소로 작용될 것이다. 구매자 에이전트에게 기억 능력을 부여하려면, 구매자 에이전트와 판매자 에이전트가 갖고 있는 정보간의 일관성을 유지해 주어야 할 필요가 있다. 최소의 노력으로 일관성을 유지하려면, 구매자 에이전트와 판매자 에이전트간에 체계적인 갱신 프로토콜이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 6가지의 프로토콜(Instantaneous Pull, Periodic Pull, Instantaneous Push, Periodic Push, Instantaneous Solicited Push, Periodic Solicited Push)을 비교하고, 에이전트의 아키텍처와 KQML/XML에 기반 한 메시지 구조를 제시한다. 이들 프로토콜의 상황에 따른 수행 성능 평가가 진행 중이며, 이러한 상황에 적응할 수 있는 에이전트의 프로토타입이 현재 개발 중이다.
