본 연구의 목적은 중소 IT기업의 영업사원이 경쟁력 강화를 위하여 가치지향성, 리더십, 공정성이 조직시민행동과 경영성과에 미치는 영향을 알아보고 나아가 매개변수로써 적응적 판매행위의 역할을 탐구하는데 있다. 연구를 위해서 구조화된 질문지를 이용하여 200여 개 회사의 종사자로부터 314명의 자료를 수집하였고 수집된 자료는 회귀분석방법을 사용하여 분석하였다. 기업의 장기적인 지속경영을 위해 상도를 지키는 것이 중요함에도 단기적인 이익 생존을 위해 불공정한 방법의 영업전략이 선호되는 현상에서 'IT기업의 영업사원의 가치지향성, 리더십, 공정성이 조직 시민행동과 경영성과에 미치는 영향'을 연구하는 것을 바탕으로 연구모형을 수립하였다. 본 연구의 가설은 다음과 같이 설정하였다. 첫째, 가치지향성, 리더십, 공정성은 조직시민행동과 경영성과에 영향을 미칠 것이다. 둘째, 적응적 판매행위는 독립변수와 종속변수 사이에서 매개역할을 할 것이다. 매개효과 검정을 포함한 본 연구모형 분석 결과는 가치지향성은 적응적 판매행위에, 적응적 판매행위는 조직시민행동과 경영성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미치며, 적응적 판매행위는 가치지향성과 조직시민행동을 완전매개하고 가치지향성과 경영성과 사이를 부분매개하는 것으로 확인되었다. 리더십은 적응적 판매행위에 정(+)의 영향을, 적응적 판매행위는 조직시민행동과 경영성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미치며, 적응적 판매행위는 리더십과 조직시민행동에서는 부분매개로 리더십과 경영성과 사이에서 완전매개 역할을 하고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 각 기업에서는 지속가능경영을 위해 가치지향성, 공정성에 대한 중요성을 고려한 영업전략을 수립하는 것이 매우 중요하며 그에 따른 회사의 윤리경영 및 영업사원의 가치관을 올바르게 지속시켜 줄 수 있는 교육시스템에 대한 영업환경을 적극 고려해 볼 필요가 있다.
