While most studies are based on the customer satisfaction of a product or service, there are relatively few studies associated with the satisfaction level of “competitiveness” of governmental organisations through customer satisfaction especially in today’s growing knowledge economy. This national customer satisfaction has become a major issue for Bahrain to enhance its competitiveness worldwide. The study used researchers-developed questionnaire in a cross-sectional research methodology to collect data for this research from 32 governmental entities in the Kingdom of Bahrain in 2012. Totally, 9535 questionnaire we entered the analysis to estimate the level of customer satisfaction about the competitiveness of governmental organisation in Bahrain.
