Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the organizational climate and the turnover intentions of medical center employees during the Corona crisis. In terms of the research method, this research is of a documentary and survey type, the research tools include Halpin and Kraft's organizational climate questionnaires and O'Reilly et al.'s turnover intentions questionnaire. The statistical population includes the employees of Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Kashan in 2019 and the sample size is estimated to be 130 people using Sample Power software. The findings of the research in the descriptive dimension showed that the majority of the employees of this center evaluated its organizational climate as average and the desire to leave the service among them is medium to high. The inferential analysis of the data also showed that there is a significant and inverse relationship between organizational climate and the desire to leave the service of employees. Also, multivariate analysis showed that four indicators of influence and dynamism, teamwork spirit, harassment and distancing explain 37% of the changes in the desire to leave the service, and the highest effect on leaving the service belongs to the dimension of teamwork and collective spirit. According to these findings, it is suggested that policy-making in medical and hospital systems should be focused on creating more job motivations among specialized and skilled human forces
