Abstract
Over the past decades, with different theories of personality, many scholars had attempted to explore the relationship between personality traits and job performance. Though plenty substantial conclusions were inducted; however, a systematic integration is still required. Not until 1990s, academics, such as Digman, Hough, John and Kamp began to organize and review the past related study and proposed a milestone theory called "Big Five", which provides a specific direction for recent empirical research and study to follow in.
This research cooperated with Chunghwa Telecom, which transformed from a government organization into a company system and therefore emphasized on the service and achievements of sales department to meet strong t competition. Looking back to the concerning researches about sales personnel management; the personality traits of sales personnel were highly emphasized by supervisors in the selection and administration of sales personnel.
When observing the qualities of sales careers, the activities of sales are considered getting involved into frequent personal interaction and acting with independence. There's no direct relationship between job description, performance evaluation and the behaviors which are performed actively by sales staffs and can benefit customers, colleges, supervisors and organizations. Researcher believes that successful performance evaluation should stress on not only productivity evaluation but also Organizational Citizenship Behaviors to elevate the overall effectiveness and efficiency of organization. This research took 218 sales personnel in Chunghwa Telecom as the study object, attempted to construct the influencial model of salesperson's personality traits and OCB with LISREL, as well as to examine the intermediary effect in this model.
The result shows personality besides directly effects Organizational Commitment and OCB, it also influences OCB through Organizational Commitment. The goodness-of-fit to structural equation model is acceptable. Expecting the result of this research reminds administrators pay much attention to the relationship among Personality, Organizational Commitment, Organizational Citizenship Behaviors of sales personnel and in addition, provides a profound and significant logic for enterprises in the selection and administration of sales personnel.
