The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between organizational culture and behavioral outcomes of healthcare employees working in private health care organizations. It is aimed to understand how the employees' psychological processes of organizational culture practices impact their in-role performance behaviors in their nursing roles and their intention to leave. This study examines the proposed model that consists of a number of direct positive and negative relationships between the organizational culture aspects and in-role performance behavior and intention to leave. It is proposed that the aspects of organizational culture, i.e. teamwork, training and development, rewards and recognition and communication will be positively related to employees' inrole performance behaviors and negatively related to intention to leave. The results showed that all dimensions of organizational culture chosen in the study had significant influence on both constructs of employees' behavioral outcomes. It is observed that organizational culture aspects had positive impact on in-role performance behaviors and negative impact on employees' intention to leave.
