Abstract

Erosion of revenue due to intense competition have forced the banks to create sales culture as a new transformation in the banking sector. Banks are now recruiting staff with selling skills and abilities to perform their selling activities,whose performance is measured by Key Performance Indicator(KPI). Dueto the competitive nature of the banking market and high performance culture, highly competent sales force is accounted to deliver great sales service.This service quality serves as a differentiated strategy to capture the market and increase bank performance.The critical issue is the low retention rate of the sales force especially top sales force in the banks. This paper investigates the mediating role of KPI achievement on the relationship between leadership, teamwork and high performance culture with retention of the sales force.Using hierarchical regression analysis, responses from self-administered questionnaires obtained from the sales force of all Malaysian local commercial banks were analysed. The results showed that KPI achievement fully mediated the relationship between high performance culture, teamwork and the banks’ sales force retention.This mediation effect indicates that the sales force perceives that having achieved their KPIis an important reason for them to retain in the same bank
