Abstract
Purpose
of the present study is to recognize how internal marketing affects
organizational commitment. In this research we have used a questionnaire
with thirty questions in order to study a one hundred sample of hotel
managers and administrators in Isfahan province. In this regard, a model
has been designed to show the effect of internal marketing on
organizational commitment based on research literature which is tested
by means of LISREL software. According to the obtained results of the
questionnaire's data analysis, it has been determined that internal
marketing affects organizational commitment directly and indirectly
through market orientation. It means that factors of internal marketing
influence market orientation directly and then market orientation
affects organizational commitment. Effects of these factors are
significant on organizational commitment directly.
Amount of goodness indexes (AGFI= 0.96, GFI= 0.99) shows suitability of the model.
Keywords: Internal marketing, Market orientation, Organizational commitment, Hotel industry
