This study extends the existing research on the relationship between individual factors and salesperson performance by developing a moderated mediation model. The research model posits work engagement as a mediating variable between individual factors (CSE and proactive personality) and job performance. This mediation process is moderated by perceived organization support. A self-administrated questionnaire is distributed to 215 salespersons from micro-finance institutions, located in Central Java, Indonesia. The results demonstrate that both CSE and proactive personality associated with work engagement. In addition, work engagement was significantly related to job performance. This study also reveals that CSE had a direct effect on job performance. Conversely, a proactive personality, is not related to job performance. In the case of the mediation effect test, work engagement has a significant partial mediation effect on the link between SCE and job performance. On the other hand, the relationship between proactive personality and job performance has fully mediated by work engagement. The moderating effect of perceived organizational support has strengthened the link between work engagement and job performance. In sum, the theoretical and managerial practice consequences are also discussed based on the result study.
