In this study it is aimed to evaluate the relationship between the organizational commitment and organizational cynicism levels of the midwives and nurses working for a training and research hospital. The research was conducted on the midwives and nurses working for Samsun Training and Research Hospital from July to August 2015. A survey was used as the data collection tool. Organizational Commitment Scale developed by Allen and Meyer was used to determine the levels of the commitment of the midwives and nurses, and Organizational Cynicism Scale developed by Brandes was used to determine the levels of their organizational cynicism together with the questions aiming at the socio-demographic features. When the findings related to the organizational cynicism scale subscale scores are examined, it is determined that behavioral cynicism (3.2±0.8), cognitive cynicism (3.2±0.8) and affective cynicism (3.1±0.9) scores are at medium level. When the correlation between the organizational commitment and organizational cynicism subscale scores of the staff are examined, a negative significant relation at a medium level is determined between normative commitment subscale scores and behavioral, cognitive and affective cynicism subscale scores, and a weak negative relation between continuity commitment subscale scores and behavioral cynicism subscale scores. It is thought that the results of the research include significant findings reflecting a point of view related to the levels of the organizational commitment and organizational cynicism levels of the midwives and nurses who have an important role in the process of patient care and they will be useful for the arrangements planned to be made in this field.
