The research data were collected from 430 staff members who were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling method using Organizational Cynicism Questionnaire. The results of the validation of the method showed that the internal consistency and stability reliability of the Organizational Cynicism Questionnaire by using Cronbach's alpha was 0/93 and by test-retest method was 0/95. Evaluate the content validity, discriminant, and construct of Organizational Cynicism Questionnaire confirms the validity of the questionnaire. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses as the main form revealed three correlated but separable dimensions that were "emotional cynicism","cognitive cynicism", and "behavioural cynicism".
