- Abstract
- 본 연구는 변화하는 판매환경에서 판매원들의 새로운 역할을 정립하기 위한 핵심역량으로 판매원 창의성을 설정하고, 판매원 창의성에 영향을 미치는 선행요인과 결과변수를 살펴보았다.
판매원들의 창의성을 결정할 선행요인으로 사회적 자본의 차원을 공개적 의사소통, 신뢰문화, 비전의 공유로 나누고 각 차원들이 판매원의 창의성에 치는 영향의 정도를 확인하였다. 또한 판매원 창의성이 실제 판매성과로 이어지기 위한 적응적 판매의 역할도 확인하였다. 마지막으로 사회적 자본이 판매원의 창의성에 미치는 과정에서 자아존중감의 조절적 역할도 실증하였다.
중국의 판매원 607 명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 통해 데이터를 수집하였고 이를 바탕으로 가설을 검증하였다. 가설검증결과, 첫째, 판매원이 지각한 사회적 자본은 판매원의 창의성에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 둘째, 판매원의 창의성은 판매원의 적응적 판매행동에 긍정적 역할을 수행하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 이 과정에서 판매원의 창의성은 사회적 자본과 적응적 판매행동 간의 매개적 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 판매원의 적응적 판매행동은 판매원들의 판매성과를 향상시키는 것으로 확인되었으며, 마지막으로 사회적 자본 중 비전공유와 판매원의 창의성 간의 관계는 자아존중감에 의해 조절되는 것을 확인되었다.
위와 같은 가설검증 결과를 바탕으로 디지털 시대 변화하는 판매원들의 역할을 파악하고 향후 판매원들이 배양해야 할 핵심역량은 어떤 것들이 있는지에 대한 실증적, 이론적 시사점을 제안하였다.|In recent years, offline sales are increasingly impacted by online sales. Maintaining the competitiveness of offline shopping malls has become a genuine problem, as malls face significant online sales competition. This thesis establishes the core strength of the new role of salespersons in today’s changing sales environment,
emphasizes salesperson creativity, and tests both independent factors and dependent variables affecting salesperson creativity.
The independent factor of social capital determines the creativity of a salesperson, and this dimension is divided into communication openness, trusting culture, and shared vision. Data on 607 Chinese salespersons were collected through a structured questionnaire, and relevant hypotheses were tested based on these data. The results show: First, social capital perceived by the salesperson has a positive impact on the salesperson’s creativity. Second, creativity plays a positive role in a salesperson’s adaptive selling. Third, in this process, salesperson creativity plays a mediating role between social capital and adaptive selling. Fourth, adaptive selling by the salesperson improves sales performance. Finally, the relationship between social capital and salesperson creativity is regulated by self-efficacy.
Based on the test results of the proposed hypotheses, this thesis grasps the role of salespersons in the digital era and puts forward empirical and theoretical clarifications of core factors salespersons should cultivate in the future.
