壽險公司的新契約保費收入主要靠業務員向保戶招攬保險商品而來,因此業務人力是公司最重要的資產。壽險外勤業務工作極具挑戰性且銷售難度高,如何激發業務員工作潛能,使其隨時保持高度自信心與工作熱忱,實有賴各種激勵措施之制定,本研究是針對壽險外勤人員,探討其個人背景因素,對公司激勵制度之重視度,及了解不同類型的激勵制度與個人工作績效的關聯性研究,以協助公司制定出最具激勵效果之激勵制度為目的。 研究以問卷施測方式進行資料收集,問卷調查的對象設定為台北縣市六家具有代表性之壽險公司之各職級外勤業務員,研究樣本共收集158份有效資料,資料分析方法主要以敘述性統計、t檢定、相關分析及迴歸分析進行假設驗證。 研究結果顯示,金錢型的實質獎勵還是壽險業務員最重視的激勵制度。屬於心理滿足層面的接受表揚、參加國際性保險菁英會議的激勵制度,業務員重視的程度看法因人而異。業務員對工作績效認知大都屬於對專業、服務態度等方面,也是業務員為新契約招攬所必須具備的基本條件,因此公司落實業務員之教育訓練,為一切業務經營之基礎。三大類型之激勵制度對業務員之工作績效都呈顯著正相關,只是影響程度有別,所以各種激勵制度都是必要的,因為它們都會對工作績效有幫助,但經營者在成本效益原則上,必須找出最具效益的制度推動,方能事半功倍。 因此壽險公司應針對業務員的個人屬性,了解各職級業務員的工作心態及需求,制定不同的激勵制度,以達到提升工作績效的目的,另根據研究結論,對壽險業者提出具體建議供參考。
