Abstract

Over the last two decades, organizational cynicism has become a buzzword in today’s managerial academic life. The concept reflects the negative feelings employees have toward their workplaces, and it provides interpretations for many unwanted employee behaviors. Many managerial disciplines like leadership, human resources management and organizational behavior have devoted a considerable space for it within their curricula. As organizational commitment determines all employee-employer ties, this concept has attracted much attention in both academic and practical management arenas. Accordingly, and by using quantitative analysis, this study explores the relationship between organizational cynicism dimensions and organizational commitment approaches in the context of public primary schools in Menoufia, Egypt. Correlation and regression results show a negative association between the cynicism dimensions and approaches of organizational commitment.
