branding interno, promesa de marca, marcas de servicio, valores de marca, satisfacción laboral, comercio minoristaAbstract
El objetivo del artículo es introducir el concepto de branding interno en la literatura organizacional publicada en México, distinguiéndolo de conceptos relacionados como el marketing interno y el branding del empleador. El método consistió en la estimación de un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales usando Mínimos Cuadrados Parciales con una muestra de 310 encuestas de empleados de una cadena grande de farmacias. Los resultados muestran una relación positiva entre el ajuste con los valores de marca de los empleados y su satisfacción laboral, intención de permanencia y conducta alineada con la marca. El hallazgo principal es que el branding interno rebasa el ámbito exclusivo del marketing e incide también en objetivos tradicionales de recursos humanos, como la satisfacción e intención de permanencia de los colaboradores.References
