Background & Aim
: Nurses are the largest and most important human resource for health care organizations, community health
promotion is important. The healthcare system, especially the members of the nurses who are active in completely different culture
conditions is of utmost importance. Professional nursing is one of the factors involved in the professional, cultural and organizational
commitment. Strong and positive culture in the organization can accept nurses to better interact with colleagues and ultimately
provide satisfaction in completing tasks and organizational objectives to be followed. The success of the organization depends on
the members and staff. Recently, researchers believe that professional commitment and organizational structures necessarily are
contradictory and are not incompatible, but can significantly correlate with each other. The purpose of this study was to determine
the relationship between nurse’s professional behavior and organizational culture and commitment in hospitals affiliated to Iran
University of Medical Sciences.
