  1. Antecedents and Consequences of Salesperson Job Satisfaction Steven P. Brown Robert A. Peterson Journal of Marketing Research (30) Bobby Riggle - COBA Marketing

  2. Research Domain • Job satisfaction is defined as ‘all characteristics of the job itself and the work environment which salespeople find rewarding, fulfilling, and satisfying, or frustrating and unsatisfying’. • At the time, more than 30 constructs had been studied as antecedents or consequences of salesperson job satisfaction . Bobby Riggle - COBA Marketing

  3. Potential Antecedents or Consequences • Work outcomes • sales performance, organizational commitment, and propensity to leave and turnover. • Individual differences • work motivation, task specific and generalized self-esteem. • Role perceptions • role conflict, role ambiguity, and role clarity. • Finally • supervisory behaviors and job/task characteristics.

  4. Research Questions • First, the researches attempt to assess the strength and consistency of the pair wise relationships involving salesperson job satisfaction. • Second, they attempt to account for variance in these relationships by using study characteristics as moderator variables. • Third, the researchers evaluate a causal model of commonly studied effects involving job satisfaction to establish their generality.

  5. Proposed Moderators • Type of sales force • Job Type • Type of customer served • B to B vs. B to C • Number of company salesforces studied • Single vs. Multiple • Job Satisfaction measure • JDI, INDSALES, and several global measures Bobby Riggle - COBA Marketing

  6. Data Collection • Little was noted as to how the materials were obtained, if there were any unpublished studies/dissertations included, or keyword searches performed. Bobby Riggle - COBA Marketing

  8. Inclusion Criteria • Only studies that investigated salesperson job satisfaction. • Nothing was noted as to the difference in scales that measured correlates of job satisfaction (i.e. – were they the same or were they different?) • No note as to where the samples came from (i.e. – domestic vs. international) Bobby Riggle - COBA Marketing

  9. Coding • Very little is said about the coding technique used in this analysis as identified by the excerpt below. Bobby Riggle - COBA Marketing

  10. Method • Effect size used was ‘r’. • 59 studies were included in the analyses which yielded 254 usable effect sizes. • Procedure followed was Hedges and Olkin (1985). Bobby Riggle - COBA Marketing

  11. Homogeneity • Hedges and Olkin (1985) • Produce Q statistic and determine whether homogeneity or heterogeneity. • If homogeneous, stop. • If heterogeneous, delete one outlier and recalculate Q. Do this until homogeneity is obtained. • Moderator analyses were only performed for relationships that required deletion of more than one outlier for which at least 10 effects were available.
