In order to obtain primary data in this study; 5- point Likert-type "Organizational Cynicism Scale" consisting of 14 items and 5-point Likert-type "Psychological Contract Scale" consisting of 17 items were used. Cronbach Alpha coefficient was calculated for the sub-dimensions and total reliability of the scales.

In order to determine the organizational cynicism and psychological contract levels of the participants and to examine whether these levels change according to the demographic variables, the suitability of the data for normal distribution was examined. Since the data did not have a normal distribution, differences between the groups were tried to be determined by using Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis test.

In this study, correlation analyzes were conducted to determine the relationship between the perception of organizational cynicism and psychological contracts of healthcare workers and the sub-dimensions of these variables, the direction and severity of the relationship in question. Since the data did not have a normal distribution, Spearman’s rho test was applied for relationships.
