Certainly, it is not easy to ensure that the employees from different occupational groups working in the hospitals work together in such a way that they are satisfied with their jobs. However, organization managers aim to increase the job satisfaction levels of the employees with several regulations. One of these regulations is to integrate democratic practices into the organizational structures and processes. The aim of this study is to determine the organizational democracy perceptions and job satisfaction levels of employees working in public hospitals and also to determine whether or not organizational democracy has a significant effect in increasing the job satisfaction levels of the employees. As a result of the study, conducted with a total of 200 healthcare professionals, it was found that mean scores of the organizational democracy perception of the employees were 2.42, their mean scores of general job satisfaction level were 2.73 and moderate significant (in the range of ,411 and ,602) correlations were determined between the organizational democracy subscales and job satisfaction and its subscales. In addition, it was determined that justice, equality, and accountability subscales of organizational democracy affected job satisfaction positively and significantly, however, it was also determined that participation & criticizing and transparency subscales did not have a significant effect on job satisfaction.},author={Muhammet ÇANKAYA},year={2018},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
