Moreover, it revealed that internal marketing was a better predictor of service quality. This study examines the relationship between internal marketing, organizational commitment, and service quality in telecommunications firms. It concludes that internal marketing significantly impacts service quality, highlighting the need for robust internal marketing programs to enhance service levels. Additionally, the study finds a significant relationship between organizational commitment and service quality, emphasizing the importance of strengthening organizational commitment. An integrated approach that combines internal marketing and organizational commitment strategies is recommended to maximize service quality and foster a supportive work environment.
