Summary/Abstract: In this study, "Does the organizational cynicism perceptions of health professionals have an effect on employee performance and organizational commitment?" the answer to the question has been sought. In this context, 218 healthcare professionals were reached through the online survey. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS 18 application. Frequency, percentage, correlation and regression analyses were used in the analysis of the data. According to the results obtained, it was determined that the organizational commitment and organizational cynicism levels of the health workers participating in the survey were moderate, and the employee performance perception levels were high. An inverse and moderate relationship was found between organizational commitment and organizational cynicism. Again, while there were negative and moderately significant relationships between the cognitive and affective dimensions, which are the sub-dimensions of organizational cynicism, and organizational commitment, the inverse and significant relationship between the behavioral dimension and organizational commitment was found to be weak. As a result of the regression analysis between organizational cynicism and organizational commitment, it was determined that organizational cynicism had an effect on organizational commitment. As a result of the correlation analysis between organizational cynicism and organizational performance, it was determined that there was no significant relationship between them and as a result of the regression analysis, organizational cynicism did not have a significant effect on organizational performance.
