Öz

Hizmet işletmelerinde insan kaynaklarının niteliği ve kalitesi işletmelerin performansını artırabilir. Bu nedenle içsel pazarlama gibi çalışanların niteliklerini ve işletmeye karşı olan davranışlarını iyileştirecek işletme uygulamaları her geçen gün daha önemli hale gelmeye başlamaktadır. Bu çalışma, içsel pazarlama faaliyetlerinin örgütsel sinizmin üç boyutu olarak kabul edilen duygusal, davranışsal ve bilişsel sinizm değişkenlerine ve ayrıca çalışanların örgütsel bağlılığına etkisini araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaca hizmet edecek veriler,  anket içeriğinde bulunan üç ayrı ölçekle sağlanmıştır.  Örneklem olarak 324 kişilik özel hastane çalışanından elde edilen verilere korelasyon, faktör ve regresyon analizi uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre içsel pazarlama faaliyetleri ile örgütsel sinizmin duygusal, davranışsal ve bilişsel boyutları arasında negatif, örgütsel bağlılık ile pozitif yönlü anlamlı ilişkilerin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu bulgular doğrultusunda özellikle hastane gibi hizmet işletmelerinde içsel pazarlama uygulamalarının çalışan davranışları üzerinde olumlu etkileri olduğu ifade edilebilir.
