Background : The concept of 'service' in a hospital is based on the quality of medical staffs who serve as customer-satisfying media, and this is what distinguishes general hospitals from other business corporations in which customer satisfaction is achieved through commercial products. Thus, the internal employee satisfaction is essential in the improvement of the 'service' and subsequent 'competitiveness' of a hospital. The purpose of this study is to establish internal marketing strategies for a general hospital through regular surveys on employee satisfaction. Method : Surveys on employee satisfaction in radiology department were conducted regularly twice a year in a university hospital with 800 beds 2001 in 2004. The subjects of this study were 35 employees who work in radiology department. The authors developed the questionnaires and the surveys were conducted initially during the first 6 months of the year. After necessary improvements were made by applying 6 Sigma techniques, subsequent surveys were conducted during the latter 6 months of the year and the degree of employee satisfaction was compared. Results : Overall satisfaction increased with a constant rate and the authors were able to assess that the hospital is being gradually stabilized. The degree of satisfaction assessed by multiple choices showed only minor changes. However, as a result of focusing on the demands put forth by the employees through the open questions, the degree of satisfaction increased gradually year after year. Conclusions : It is important to heighten the internal employee satisfaction systematically and harmoniously through the assessment on the demands of the internal customers and feedback-based communications between the management officers and the staffs. Continuous surveys on the internal employee satisfaction will serve to be valuable materials in the establishment of internal marketing strategies for a general hospital.

The purpose of this paper is on employees as internal customers and the critical role this group plays in the delivery of quality results. The set up of research model for verification was as follows. The research model was drawn as internal service quality level $\Rightarrow$ internal customer satisfaction $\Rightarrow$ enterprise outcome. Then, two hypotheses were established to the research model. Through the factor analysis and multiple regression analysis, the results are as follows. First, internal service quality level turned out to be affected indirectly through internal customers' satisfaction rather than a direct factor to affect the enterprise outcome. Second, internal customers' satisfaction was proved to be the most important factor for the enterprise outcome as ti was the intimate factor precedent to the enterprise outcome. However, there could be a variation of response according to the personal circumstances of respondents since the respondents were from different enterprises and consisted various job positions and age group. Namely it included a limitation of rather unaccurate resulting values because the transverse methods were performed for convenience though it needed a longitudinal research to accomplish the general purpose of this study.
