This process enhances employees’ job commitment, strengthens organizational and emotional attachment, and positively influences both individual and institutional performance. Healthy workplace relationships enable healthcare professionals to perform their duties more effectively, whereas turnover intention may undermine this process. This study aimed to examine the effect of organizational socialization on career development, emotional commitment, and turnover intention among healthcare workers. Data were collected via a structured questionnaire from 515 healthcare professionals employed in three private hospitals in Istanbul, and analyses were performed using SPSS 26.0 with a 95% confidence interval. Descriptive statistics summarized socio-demographic characteristics, correlation analysis assessed relationships among variables, and regression analysis determined the predictive effects of organizational socialization. The results indicated that organizational socialization was positively associated with career development and emotional commitment, but negatively associated with turnover intention. Regression analysis confirmed that organizational socialization significantly increased career development and emotional commitment while reducing turnover intention.}, number={2}, publisher={Ankara Düşünce ve Araştırma Merkezi}
