Descripción: This research examines the effects of organizational cynicism on organizational commitment.  Drawing on the literature review, there are some studies regarding organizational cynicism. In Egypt, limited research has been conducted, but the present study attempts to find out whether there is a relationship between organizational cynicism and organizational commitment. This study was conducted at Teaching Hospitals in Egypt from 2012/9 through 2013/2. It is the first empirical work so far in the field of organizational cynicism and its effect on organizational commitment at Teaching Hospitals in Egypt. This survey-type research is descriptive in terms of the data collection. The authors investigate the attitudes of employees in regards to organizational cynicism and organizational commitment.
