Abstract :It is aimed to investigate both the relationship between the organizational level of trust and the status of initiative taking of healthcare professionals and if the status of initiative taking and the level of organizational trust differ according to demographic variables. The population and sample comprise of 400 and 196 healthcare professionals, respectively. By using convenience sampling method 161 people can be reached. The relationship between the variables is explored with Spearman correlation coefficient and simple linear regression analysis. In the analysis, independent two samples, t test and one-way ANOVA analysis are utilized. In the advanced level research Tukey HSD test is used. It is determined that there is a moderate level of organizational trust and initiative taking among healthcare professionals, and there is a positive but weak relationship between the level of organizational trust and the status of initiative taking. The level of organizational trust can explain approximately 20% of the personal initiative behavior. It can be claimed that strengthening of healthcare professionals by supporting them would be efficient in the formation of the culture of initiative taking.Keywords : Organizational trust, Personal initiative, Active performance, Health professionals, Health service
