İÇSEL PAZARLAMANIN ALGILANAN HİZMET KALİTESİ ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİNDE İŞ TATMİNİNİN ARACILIK ROLÜ

Abstract

Bu çalışma içsel pazarlama uygulamalarının algılanan hizmet kalitesi üzerinde bir etkisinin bulunup bulunmadığını ve bu etkide iş tatmininin aracılık rolünün olup olmadığını araştırmaktadır. Batı Karadeniz Üniversitelerinde görev yapan 321 akademisyen üzerinde gerçekleştirilen çalışma sonucunda, algılanan hizmet kalitesi üzerinde içsel pazarlamanın gelişim ve ödüllendirme boyutlarının doğrudan bir etkisinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Buna karşılık, iş tatmininin yalnızca içsel pazarlamanın ödüllendirme boyutu ile algılanan hizmet kalitesi arasında aracılık etkisine sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir
