Abstract

It is well known that public relations in any organization aim to introduce the various types of the external public to all activities of the organization, build a good reputation, and create a golden, excellent image among the different groups dealing with it, based on truthful information and facts. It also primarily seeks to foster good relations between employees, both internally among themselves and externally with the senior management, leading to the continuous development of this spirit and finding quick solutions to employee problems. Furthermore, it aims to enhance productivity, which is directly linked to the quality of production, services, or the economic or social activity in which the organization is involved. Based on this, the primary function of public relations can be focused on creating strong connections and relationships between the organization and its internal and external publics, aiming to achieve the highest degree of mutual understanding and comprehensive knowledge between both parties, ultimately leading to improved productivity as the final outcome of public relations activities within the organization. It also contributes to enhancing the organization’s reputation, good name, and its distinguished position among the external public, as the ultimate result of its public relations activities with the environment, society, and its employees. Modern public relations can be viewed not only as an activity between an institution and its public but also as a social philosophy aimed at addressing individual problems in the modern society generated by the nature of this age and its needs. It helps individuals adapt to these developments and live with them, ultimately achieving social integration and harmony.
