The Role of Height and Weight in the Performance of Salesmen of Ordinary Life InsuranceMurrey, Joe H. 12 1900 (has links)
Despite the obvious importance attached to the psychological significance of height and weight in everyday life, few researchers have studied the relationship of these variables to the sales performance of ordinary life insurance salesmen. In the present study, it was hypothesized that (1) taller and/or heavier ordinary life insurance salesmen are more successful than shorter and/or lighter ordinary life insurance salesmen; (2) those who possess more "ideal statures" are more successful than those who do not; and, secondarily, (3) life insurance companies tend to hire taller and/or heavier applicants for life insurance sales positions. The results of this study offer further support for the view that many sales managers and recruiters tend to believe that "the bigger they are, the better," and to select applicants accordingly, with the qualification that in this sample, female agents were taller, but lighter than average. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for the life insurance industry and future investigations.

壽險業務員對業績比賽的認知評估、因應策略與工作投入間之關係研究 / Cognition of selling volume comparison, coping strategies and job involvement.游紫華, Yu, Tza-Hua Unknown Date (has links)
本研究的主旨在瞭解壽險業務員對於業績比賽的重要性、業績冠軍的相似性以及個人對於業績表現的控制力評估,是否會影響業務員對於自己業績表現不如他人訊息的因應,並且探討個人所採用的因應方式與後續工作投入程度的關係。本研究的樣本為國內六家壽險公司的323位現職業務員,以問卷調查的方式進行研究,使用的研究工具包含『業績比賽相關題目』、『認知評估量表』、『相似性評估量表』、『因應策略量表』及『工作投入量表』,資料分析主要採用因素分析與變異數分析等方法。
本研究的結果主要為:(一)自我關聯程度評估對於『情緒虛理』、『問題解決』與『逆來順受』因應策略產生顯著影響,並且當個人對於業績比賽的自我關聯程度評估高時,曾較自我關聯評估低組,採用較多的因應策略,而控制力變項則對於『情緒處理』、『問題解決』與『尋求支持』三種因應策略造成顯著影響,即當個人對於業績進步的控制感高時,會較控制感低的業務員,採用較少的『情緒處理』與『尋求支持』,而採用較多的『問題解決』方式來面對業績比賽不如他人的情形。(二)採用較多『情緒處理』因應策略的業務員,其後續的工作投入情形會低於採用較少本策略的業務員;而在『問題解決』因應上,則獲致相反的結果,即採用較多此策略者,其工作投入情形較高。(三)在人口統計變項中,不同的性別對於自我關聯程度、控制力、情緒處理與尋求支持因應策略、工作即生活與工作投入量表總分有影響,而不同年齡則在逆來順受與尋求支持兩變項上有差異,婚姻狀況在尋求支持、工作即生活及工作投入量表總分上有差異,不同的組織別,其控制力、問題解決與尋求支持因應策略亦有所不同。
最後,本研究根據所得結果進行檢討,並對於企業界及後續研究提出一些建議。
