Abstract

The positive relationship between competency and performance has been supported by many studies. However, some managerial factors might moderate the relationship. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the moderating effect of LMX between salesperson competencies and work performance. The survey was conducted, and 289 valid questionnaires were collected from the salespersons who work in a Taiwanese department store. The results pointed out: (1) Flexibility, self-confidence and self-control were positively related to task performance, (2) Self-confidence and self-control were positively related to contextual performance, (3) LMX was positively related to task and contextual performances, (4) The interaction of self-confidence and LMX had negative moderating effect in the relationship between competency and task performance. Furthermore, some managerial suggestions were proposed as well.
