Abstract
The initial approach to this study is to focus on pharmaceutical companies' internal marketing activities for organizational diagnosis. By analysing the influence of internal marketing elements on the job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and turnover intention of pharmaceutical salespeople, this study aims at coming up with ways to strengthen the sales capacity and competitive edge of pharmaceutical companies through the salespeople's satisfaction. For 32 days between November 10th and December 12th of 2012, a total of 210 copies of questionnaires were given to the respondents and 203 of them except 7 with insufficient answers were used for the final analysis. The analysis result showed that internal communication, delegation of authority, and reward system among the elements of internal marketing activity had a positive influence on the workers' job satisfaction. The internal marketing activity elements did not influence the respondents' organizational commitment. Job satisfaction had a positive influence on their organizational commitment, while it had a negative influence of turnover intention. The conclusion section encapsulated the results of empirical analysis and proposed practical lessons regarding pharmaceutical companies' internal marketing.
