Objectives: The quality of health care relies upon hospital staff, and internal marketing can create an organizational culture that focuses on customer communication. Therefore, the impact of implementing hospital internal marketing on the satisfaction and organizational commitment of hospital staff is an issue that warrants further study. Methods: This cross-sectional study used a structured questionnaire to investigate the internal marketing, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment of a hospital staff cluster sampled from randomly chosen units of a medical center. Of 430 questionnaires distributed, 342 (79.5%) were collected. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Pearson correlation coeffi cient, CFA, and structural equation modeling techniques to investigate the relationships amongst study variables. Results: The path coefficients were 0.66 (p<0.001) for internal marketing on job satisfaction, 0.48 (p<0.001) for job satisfaction on organizational commitment, and 0.83 (p<0.001) for internal marketing on organizational commitment. Conclusions: Internal marketing may rally the good perception of a hospital by the hospital staff, and therefore enhance job satisfaction and organizational commitment. To retain employees and their loyalty, health care managers should exert effort to communicate with their staff to make the vision and mission of their institute clear and acceptable. |
