| Summary: | INTRODUCTION: This research was planned as a descriptive study in order to determine the relationship between the professional values and organizational citizenship behaviour of nurses working in surgical clinics. METHODS: The study was conducted at the surgery clinics and operating rooms of a university and a state hospitals in the province of Afyonkarahisar. The sample of study consisted of 145 nurses.The Nurses Professional Values Scale (NPVS) and the Organizational Citizenship Level Scale (OCLS) were used as data collection tools. In data analysis, frequency and percentage distribution, arithmetic mean, variance analysis, t-test, Pearson correlation analysis and regression model were used on "SPSS" statistical software package. RESULTS: The score on the NPVS was found to be 3.857 +- 0.585 and OCLS score was found to be 3.451 +- 0.581. It was determined that the coefficients indicating the relationship between PVS and OCL subscales varied between r = 0.250 and r = 0.445. There was a statistically significant relationship between the total subscale scores on PVS and the total scores of OCLS and between the total scores of PVS and OCLS (p <0.05). According the regression model, the relationship between PVS (0.442 +- 0.074) and OCLS (1.748 +- 0.290) was found to be statistically significant (f = 35.80, p=0.000). It was seen that there was a positive relationship between PVS and OCLS variables (r = 0.445). The determination coefficient (r2) was calculated to be 0.200 (20%) which demonstrated that professional values contributed to the OCL changes by 20%. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: It was determined that the nurses possessed a moderate levesl of professional values and organizational citizenship behaviour. It was concluded that as the professional values of nurses increased, the organizational citizenship behaviour of moderate level also increased. Furthermore, it was seen that 20% of the change in OCL of nurses were dependent on professional values.
