When nurses lack commitment to their organization and their job, they may not perform their duties properly. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the organizational culture and organizational commitment among nurses at Afshar Hospital in Yazd city in 2024.<br> <b>Methods:</b> This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 115 nurses. Sampling was performed using a stratified random method. The required data were collected using the Denison Organizational Culture Questionnaire and the Allen and Meyer Organizational Commitment Questionnaire. Descriptive analysis, independent t-tests, and ANOVA were used in SPSS 24.<br> <b>Results:</b> The findings indicated that the mean age of the nurses was 33.47 &plusmn; 8.12 years. The majority of the studied nurses were female, held a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, were married, and had over ten years of work experience. The mean score for OC was 123.66 &plusmn; 21.94 (very good), and the mean score for OCom was 72.09 &plusmn; 3.93 (moderate). The differences in the mean scores of OCom and OC were significant only based on the gender variable (P < 0.001).<br> <b>Conclusion</b>: It is necessary to prepare the ground for achieving optimal conditions, as any action leading to the promotion of OCom will increase the probability of organizational success, survival, and progress.</span></span></div> Nurses, Hospitals, Organizational culture, Organizational commitment 18 22 http://jhd.goums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-115-2&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Mohammad Kazem Rahimi m.k.rahimi.65@gmail.com 1003194753284600666 1003194753284600666 No Health Policy and Management Research Center, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, Iran; Department of Health Management and Economics, School of Public Health, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, Iran Hasan Jafari Jafary_h@yahoo.com 1003194753284600667 1003194753284600667 Yes Health Policy and Management Research Center, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, Iran; Department of Health Management and Economics, School of Public Health, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, Iran Tahereh Shafaghat sara.shafaght@gmail.com 1003194753284600668 1003194753284600668 No Health Policy and Management Research Center, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, Iran; Department of Health Management and Economics, School of Public Health, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, Iran Saeideh Rastegari Marvasti Saeadehrastegari@gmail.com 1003194753284600669 0009-0009-7797-0308 No Department of Health Management and Economics, School of Public Health, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, Iran Elham Khaledi Elhamkhaledi76@gmail.com 1003194753284600670 0009-0007-7011-6745 No Student Research Committee, School of Health, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan; Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, School of Health, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan
