Abstract | The present study examines the relationships between Internal Marketing Orientation (IMO) and certain organizational consequences, in particular, job satisfaction and commitment. It incorporates for the first time in the marketing science, a new sub-dimension into the organizational responsiveness dimension of the IMO construct: namely, work/family balance (WFB). It is argued that this new sub-dimension could usefully be included in future research on Internal Marketing since it is a key area that should not be overlooked, not least because a central feature of employees’ needs today is the need to achieve a balance between work, family and personal life. A model for measuring IMO was first developed through the literature review, and it was then tested empirically Spanish hotel sector. |
