Abstract:

Nowadays, rapid and varied changes are happening globally; changes in the technological, sociological, economic, political, legal and scientific fields can lead to many changes, especially in local organizations. Under these conditions, the only way of interest of organizations is to change and quickly adapt to the organization’s environment. Therefore, it is necessary that all organizations are managed with a proactive understanding, ready to change, capable of rapidly adaptation. A person who can quickly adapt to organizational change, can change himself and his employees (educational, behavioral, etc.) The organizations are considered healthy. The health of organizations requires that organizational processes and practices are at an ideal level. In addition, the level of commitment of employees in healthy organizations is high. It can also be said that the high commitment of the employee has a significant impact on the adoption of a positive attitude to change and behavior. This study was conducted with the aim of identifying the relationships between organizational health, organizational commitment and organizational change perceptions of health staff working in the Afyonkarahisar province center. The research was carried out with 739 health staff working at Afyonkarahisar State Hospital, Afyon Kocatepe University Hospital and Private Park Life Hospital, located in the Afyonkarahisar Provincial Center. Structural Equality Modeling (YEM) has been implemented using LISREL to measure the organizational health, organizational commitment and the perception of change. According to the YEM results; an unity increase on organizational commitment has caused an increase of 0.75 units on organizational health and an increase of 0.29 units on organizational change openness, while an unity increase on organizational change openness has caused an increase of 0.08 units on organizational health.
