Abstract

Present study is an attempt to investigate the psychometric analysis of perception of ethical climate, horizontal violence, perceived authentic leadership style and perceived organizational support as predictors and turnover intention as an outcome of organizational cynicism. Psychometric analysis is conducted through measurement model by using AMOS 21. A mathematical approach is utilized to compute the reliability and validity of the constructs. Questionnaires were distributed among 870 nurses out of which 711 questionnaires were returned at the actual response rate of 81.7% and 668 questionnaires were scrutinized at the affective response rate of 76.78%.Current study validates the questionnaire and offers a reliable instrument to investigate organizational cynicism in Asian countries.
