As a result of the one-way ANOVA test; Employees aged 21-30 have lower levels of organizational commitment than those aged 41 and over, medical secretaries have lower levels of organizational commitment than health technician-technicians, and employees with a monthly income of 5.501 TL and above have lower income It has been determined that organizational commitment levels are higher than those who are working.

As a result of the hierarchical regression analysis, it has been determined that transformative leadership has a "partial intermediary" role in the effect of psychological capital on organizational commitment.
