The job satisfaction that employees get at the organization depends on whether or not the employee's needs are met. Employee needs that can be met will provide job satisfaction. The greater the employee's needs that can be met, the higher the employee's job satisfaction. Meanwhile, if the employee's needs are not met, the employee will have dissatisfaction. Objective: To identify the influence of internal service quality (intqual) on employee satisfaction at RSIAS. Methods: This study analyses an employee satisfaction survey conducted in 2020 using a cross-sectional study design. Population of this research is all employees in RSIAS. The sample of this study is also all employees in RSIAS, which is 421 people. The satisfaction survey is filled in using a score of 1 to 5, then averaged so that a score is obtained to determine the category of each aspect. The data obtained were analyzed based on the theory of internal service quality and employee satisfaction, then tested using a multiple linear regression statistical test model to determine the effect of internal service quality (intqual) on employee satisfaction at RSIAS. Results: The results of statistical tests showed that the value of p = 0.000, meaning that internal service quality has an effect on employee job satisfaction because the value of p <0.05. Several aspects of internal service quality affect job satisfaction, namely the aspects of tools, policies and procedures, management support, goal alignment, effective training and reward and recognition.

This process completed in three phases. Phase-I comprised of forward backward translations and then its linguistic equivalence was estimated with English version of OCQ-R on a group of bilingual respondents (N = 45). In Phase-II, reliability estimation of OCQRV including alpha coefficient index, split half, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was calculated on a sample of 360 respondents (165 men, 195 women) with age range between 25-40 years. Further, OCQ-R test re-test reliability was checked with one-week interval over 42 respondents. All indexes were calculated were found to be significant. In Phase III, OCQ-R validity estimation was established over sample of 310 participants using Urdu version of Job Satisfaction Survey (Spector, 1985), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965) and Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (Petrides & Furnhm, 2006) along with OCQ-R.

Traditionally, marketing has been characterized by a lack of discrimination between tangible products and intangible services. Many marketing theorists presently subscribe to the view that the parameters of service exchanges are so different as to render conventional, product-based marketing paradigms invalid: However, definitive services marketing normatives remain limited in both range and scope. The author investigates specific services marketing strategies that have been prescribed in the services marketing literature. These strategies are assessed in terms of their actual usage amongst a sample of 44 advertising agencies. The research findings revealed that: (i) five marketing/managerial strategies were in common use - service quality, creativity, client-bonding, planning strategically, and operating efficiently; (11) advertising agencies freedom to adopt broader portfolios of services marketing strategies was constrained by their openness to client demands, and their emphasis upon having agency personnel serve as tangible service proxies. The implications of these findings and future research avenues in services marketing are discussed.
