The purpose of this study is to specify a structural relationship among learning goal orientation(LGO), creativity, working smart, working hard, and work performance of salespersons, verify the direct and indirect effect of variables, and examine impacts of the five factors at the same time. Also, this carried out the study to understand the relationship between the salesperson's creativity and work performance. This study targeted for salespersons who were working in various industries and total 588 were participated via on-line. According to the study, the result is as follows. First of all, There are direct effects among LGO, creativity, working smart, and work performance. However, working hard didn't have any direct effect with any other variables. Creativity and working smart have indirect effects on the relationship between LGO and job performance. In addition, the mediating effect of the model with creativity was higher than that of the model without creativity. Therefore, creativity is an individual competency that should be continuously developed to improve the work performance of a salesperson.

본 연구는 영업사원의 학습목표지향성, 창의성, 직무관련 행동인 업무방법과 업무강도, 그리고 업무성과에 대한 구조적 관계를 규명하고, 변인들 간에 직 간접적 효과를 확인함과 동시에 창의성과 학습목표지향성, 직무관련 행동, 업무성과의 영향을 구명하는 것을 연구 목적으로 하였다. 본 연구를 위해 588명의 다양한 산업군의 영업사원에게 온라인을 통하여 설문조사를 진행하였고, 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저 변인간의 직접효과를 검증한 결과, 학습목표지향성은 창의성, 업무방법, 업무성과에, 창의성은 업무방법과 업무성과에, 업무방법은 업무성과에 정적으로 유의한 영향을 보였다. 그러나 업무강도는 어떤 변인과도 유의한 직접효과를 나타내지 않았다. 학습목표지향성과 업무성과와의 관계에서 창의성과 업무방법은 간접효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 학습목표지향성과 업무성과의 관계에서 창의성이 포함된 모형이 포함되지 않은 모형보다 매개효과가 더 큰 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 창의성은 직무수행자 개인으로서 영업사원의 업무성과를 높이기 위해 지속적인 개발이 필요한 개인의 역량이라는 결론을 도출하였다.
