Bu çalışmanın amacı, internet bağımlılığı ile örgütsel vatandaşlık davranışı arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Araştırmanın örneklemini, Kırklareli kamu hastanelerinde görev yapan 397 sağlık personeli oluşturmuştur. Örgütsel vatandaşlık davranışı boyutu, Podsakoff, MacKenzie, Moorman ve Fetter’ın 1990 ’ın geliştirmiş olduğu ve Göncü 2006 tarafından Türkçe’ye uyarlanan ölçek ile, internet bağımlılığı boyutu ise Young 1998 tarafından geliştirilen ve Bayraktar 2001 tarafından Türkçe’ye uyarlanan ölçek ile ölçülmüştür. Örgütsel vatandaşlık davranışı ölçeğinin Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi ve Açımlayıcı Faktör Analizi ile faktör yapısı analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre; internet bağımlılığının örgütsel vatandaşlık davranışı boyutunu olumsuz olarak etkilediği ve internet bağımlılığı semptomu göstermeyen çalışanların, sınırlı sempom gösteren çalışanlara göre daha fazla örgütsel vatandaşlık davranışı gösterdikleri belirlenmiştir.
