Marka vaadini, değerlerini ve özelliklerini benimseyen çalışanların, dış müşteriye markayı daha iyi tanıtabileceğini savunan içsel markalama, son yıllarda önem kazanan bir pazarlama unsuru olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. İçsel pazarlamanın önem kazanmasıyla literatürdeki yerini alan içsel markalama sayesinde işletmeler, günümüz pazar koşullarında rekabet avantajı elde etmekte ve çalışanların markayla özdeşleşerek işletmeye bağlılıklarını artırmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, içsel markalama ile marka vatandaşlık davranışı ve işte kalma niyeti arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek, ayrıca içsel motivasyonun bu değişkenlerle ilişkisini ortaya koymaktır. Bu doğrultuda, Marmara Bölgesinde bulunan beş yıldızlı konaklama işletmelerinde içsel markalama faaliyetlerini değerlendirmek amacıyla 470 adet beş yıldızlı konaklama işletmesi çalışanına ulaşılmış olup elde edilen veriler yapısal eşitlik modeli ile analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda ise içsel markalama unsurlarının marka vatandaşlık davranışı ve işte kalma niyeti üzerinde pozitif etkisi olduğu görülmektedir. Ayrıca içsel motivasyon ile marka vatandaşlık davranışı ve işte kalma niyeti arasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğu görülmektedir.
