Summary/Abstract: As a result of globalization and interactions of people with various identities, culturaldiversity has become a noticeable norm in today’s business life. Accordingly, managingsuch cultural diversity requires a dependence on a much more tolerant culture in whichemployees seek to attain both career and organizational objectives without being hurdledby irrelevant factors of religion, race, ethnicity and so on. During the last two decades,organizational cynicism has found a place in academic management literature. It has a vitalrole in interpreting many organizational unwanted behaviors such as: absenteeism, daydreaming and the state of being careless when doing work. This study investigates the associationbetween cultural diversity challenges and organizational cynicism dimensions byconducting a quantitative study of physicians in Kasr El Eini public hospital in Egypt. Uponusing correlation and regression analysis for the collected data, it appears that not all culturaldiversity challenges have a negative impact on organizational cynicism dimensions.
