Aim: This research was conducted to determine the relationship between organizational cynicism and organizational commitment of the nurses Method: This study was conducted in a descriptive -correlational design. “Personal Information Form, Organizational Cynicism Scale (OCS) and Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ)” were used as the data collection tools. The research was conducted by the researcher by applying a questionnaire to 280 nurses working in state hospitals. Data were analysed using SPSS 23.0 package program, independent Student’s t-test, One-Way ANOVA, Mann- Whitney U, Kruskal- Wallis, Pearson and Spearman correlation tests. Results: It was determined that there was a significant difference as a result of the comparisons made with the variables of nurses’ feeling comfortable in their workplaces, the unit in which they were working and their feeling of belonging to their workplace (p<,05). The mean total score of the Organizational Cynicism scale was 37.98±10.71, and the Organizational Commitment scale was 52.60±8.40. A relationship was determined between the organizational cynicism scale total score and affective, continuance and normative commitment subdimensiions in the organizational commitment scale. Conclusion: The results of the study revealed that nurses who were feeling comfortable in their workplaces and had feeling of belonging to their workplaces had lower levels of organizational cynicism, while nurses who were working in the intensive care units had higher levels of organizational cynicism. The organizational commitment levels of the nurses working in the operating room, feeling comfortable in their workplaces, and feeling of belonging to their workplaces were relatively higher. A negative relationship was found between the organizational cynicism scale total score and affective and continuance commitment subscales. On the other hand, a weak positive relationship was found between the organizational cynicism scale total score and normative commitment.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationships of internal and external networking behaviors of managers and professionals with their affective, continuance, and normative commitment. Design/methodology/approach – Data were obtained from 335 managers and professionals of a health system who completed a survey on networking behavior and organizational commitment. Correlation analyses and multiple regressions were performed to test our hypotheses. Findings – The results showed that networking behavior focussed within an individual's organization was positively related with affective commitment and normative commitment. Networking with individuals outside of an individual's organization showed a significant negative relationship with normative commitment. Contrary to expectations, networking externally was not related to affective commitment, and neither internal nor external networking behaviors were related to continuance commitment. Research limitations/implications – Because data were collected at a single point in time, no statements can be made about causality. Future research is needed assessing both internal and external networking behavior and the three types of organizational commitment across time to help determine direction of causality or whether reciprocal relationships exist. Practical implications – Organizations that encourage internal networking behaviors may see individuals who are more connected with their colleagues and affectively committed to their organizations. However, encouraging external networking behavior may result in a drop in normative commitment as individuals might identify more with their profession than their employer. Originality/value – Although previous research has shown that networking behavior is related to job performance and career success measures, the research extends the literature by investigating whether networking is related to attitudinal variables such as organizational commitment. The paper explores whether differential relationships exist between internal and external networking behavior with three types of organizational commitment.

The aim of this study is to determine whether relationship occurs between organizational commitment and organizational cynicism attitudes among employees who were employed in five and four star hotels located in Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey and to affirm the extent of the relationship. According to the findings, there is a significant (negative) relationship between three sub-dimensions of organizational cynicism (behavioral cynicism, affective cynicism and cognitive cynicism) and organizational commitment. Multiple regression and correlation analysis were applied to analyze data and identify the relationship between organizational commitment and organizational cynicism. According to the findings of the research, it is revealed that, as the level of organizational cynicism arises, attitudes toward organizational commitment decrease. Those results are consistent with findings of the previous studies that employees with cynical attitudes exhibited lower commitment in the organization. The results of this research showed that hotel employees mostly experience cognitive cynicism among sub-dimensions of cynicism and they rarely experience affective cynicism. In conclusion, it is possible to assert that employees were with medium level of organizational cynicism and organizational commitment.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to focus on physicians in the four public hospitals located in the October province (Egypt) in an attempt to explore the effect of responsible leadership on physicians’ affective, continuance and normative commitment with and without mediating the role of organizational inclusion. Design/methodology/approach A total of 360 physicians were contacted and all of them received a set of questionnaires. After two follow-ups, a total of 240 responses were collected with a response rate of 66.67 percent. The authors used the χ2 test to determine the association between responsible leadership and organizational inclusion. Multiple regressions were employed to show how much variation in affective, continuance and normative commitment can be explained by responsible leadership and organizational inclusion. Findings The findings highlight a positive association between responsible leadership and organizational inclusion. Moreover, another positive association is also explored between organizational inclusion and affective, continuance and normative commitment. Furthermore, the statistical analysis proved that having an atmosphere of respect, equality and sameness in the workplace fosters the effect of responsible leaders on physicians’ affective, normative and continuance commitment. Originality/value This paper contributes by filling a gap in HR management, cultural diversity and organization literature, in which empirical studies on the relationship between responsible leadership, organizational inclusion and organizational commitment have been limited until now.
