The Effect of Organizational Cynicism on Organizational Commitment among Nurses

Aim: This study was conducted to examine the effect of organizational cynicism on organizational commitment on nurses. Method: The descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study was conducted between January 2018 and June 2019 in four institutions that accepted to work in the tertiary care hospitals affiliated with the Ministry of Health in İzmir. The sample of the study consisted of 340 nurses working in these hospitals. Personal Information Form, Organizational Cynicism Scale (PSI) and Organizational Commitment Scale (PSI) were used to collect the data. In the analysis of the data, descriptive statisticks, MannWhitney U, KruskalWallis tests and Spearman correlation analysis were used. Results:A significant difference was not detected between the descriptive characteristics of the nurses in terms of gender, marital status, educational status, working status, working year and working style in the institution and mean total and subdimension scores of organizational cynicism scale (p> .05). There was no significant difference between the descriptive characteristics of the nurses in terms of organizational commitment subscale mean scores (p> .05). The total score of the Organizational Cynicism Scale of the nurses was 39.31±12.35, 1 subdimension of organizational commitment was determined as 29.50±12.96, and 2 subdimension as 23.74±7.84. Organizational cynicism was found to be an important factor in explaining organizational commitment (organizational commitment: 1 F: 240,184, p < .001; organizational commitment:2 F: 180,618, p < .001). In the simple linear regression model, organizational cynicism explained 41% (adjusted R2 = .41) of the subdimension 1, and 34% (adjusted R2 = .34) of the subdimension of the organizational commitment. Conclusion:There was a negative and moderate relationship between organizational cynicism and organizational commitment among nurses. It was concluded that there was no relationship between individual characteristics of nurses and their organizational commitment.
