Abstract

The paper develops a model that explores the relationship between goal orientation, role-stress and job satisfaction among salespersons. Learning orientation is hypothesised to reduce role-stress while performance orientation is linked to high role-stress. Further, the mediating role of role stress variables on job satisfaction is tested. The conceptual model is tested among a sample of salespersons from India. The analyses provide support for most of the hypothesis. The relationship between performance orientation and role-stress constructs as well as the relationship between learning orientation and role-ambiguity is validated through a Partial least square analysis. Implications and future research ideas are discussed.
