Abstract

Aim: This study was conducted to examine postgraduate theses on organizational cynicism in Turkey, where the sample group consisted of healthcare professionals. Methods: The database of The Council of Higher Education (Yükseköğretim Kurulu (YÖK)) was analyzed using “Cynicism, Organizational Cynicism, Cynic” separately and together, and 58 postgraduate theses were reached, the sample of which consisted of healthcare professionals. The theses obtained were evaluated using the data collection form and descriptive statistics prepared by the researchers. Results: Within the scope of the study, 86.2% of the theses examined were master's theses and only 8 doctoral theses were found on this subject. It was determined that the first thesis on this subject was published in 2013, 41.3% of the theses were written in the departments of Business/Business Administration/ General Business Administration, and the number of studies increased over the years. It was determined that quantitative research methods were used in 98.2% of the studies, 41.3% of which were conducted in Istanbul, and qualitative research designs were used in only one study. Conclusion: When the postgraduate theses examined in the study are evaluated in general, it can be said that the organizational cynicism levels of healthcare professionals are at a moderate level. This study is important in terms of revealing the current situation regarding organizational cynicism in health services and creating data for action plans. In addition, it is thought that examining the organizational cynicism levels of health professions separately (physician, nurse, midwife, health technician, etc.) and taking initiatives specific to each profession will provide great benefits to both employees and those receiving service, and this will positively affect the provision of health services and increase the quality of patient care. In addition, the study makes an important contribution by revealing open areas for scientists who will study cynicism. Keywords: Cynicism, organizational cynicism, cynic, healtcare professional
