| Summary: | Abstract
Nowadays, most of the organizations have realized the importance of a customer-oriented approach for maintaining their position on the market; therefore, one of the main concerns of managers is the development of customer-oriented behaviors. On the other hand, the main factor in shaping behavior in any organization is organizational culture. Recognizing culture is important because it includes a set of factors that, if not understood, can eliminate any attempt to direct the behaviors toward desired goals. Thus, the development of customer-oriented culture is the first step in developing customer-oriented behaviors and institutionalizing these behaviors in an organization. The present study seeks to identify the mechanisms for developing a customer-oriented culture.

Conclusion:
Finally, four types of mechanisms were identified: human resources, education, communication and promotion. |
