Abstract

A tremendous shifting of businesses at the present time forced organizations to live in a dynamic, ambiguous, and changeable environment. Due to these challenges, organizations need to apply the new marketing orientation that enhance businesses; and improve their businesses permanently to keep their competitive excellence. One of the main important factors to consider is by attracting new customers and maintaining healthy long-term relationship with them. This cannot be accomplished without improving the organizational performance through-out applying the internal marketing concepts which can be translated as seeing its employees as its first market (Sincic & Vokic, 2007).

This paper discusses and investigates the effect of a set of internal marketing elements such as employees' motivation, communication, empowerment, and training on organizational citizenship behavior. The quantitative data collection approach is used to collect the suitable data from a sample of 300 fulltime employees. Results have explored new routes in how organizations can create, maintain, and enhance organizations' citizen behavior. Which indicate, that there is a positive relationship between internal marketing dimensions; and organizational citizenship behavior in varying magnitude. Furthermore, the investigation showed that the dominant dimension of internal marketing is the motivation; then followed by the communication with stronger impact on organizational citizenship behavior, where the surprising results that the empowerment; and training and development don’t have that much effect. Also, hypotheses were tested, and more information regarding data analysis, results' discussion and study limitations were presented in more details.
