The emergence of Organizational cynicism represents a new relationship between organization and employees. This relationship has exerted an important impact on the enterprises and even the society of the United States. Employee organizational cynicism was originally produced in the changing organizations. Under the influence of competition from globalization trend, these organizations have adopted a series of reform measures to adapt to the environment. As economic system reform is continuously deepened, the question that whether employees Organizational Cynicism would exert a significant influence to the enterprise and social in China is worthy of attention.This study investigated employee Organizational Cynicism under the background of Chinese culture.

When employees feel support that comes from the organization (such as the concern, support, recognition), according to Social Exchange Theory, the employee will take the initiative to giving equivalent positive feedback, to strengthening the sense of self-identity for organization. The organization pessimistic attitude which they hold for their organization will be improved, and the employee Organizational Cynicism will be rasied.(2)Perceived Organizational Support has a significant negative influence on each dimension of employees Organizational Cynicism. When employees feel the attention from organization, and deem that the organizations pay attention to their happiness, their emotional needs are met, a higher sense of organization belonging could be produced, organizational cynicism emotions would be eased and reduced. At the same time, based on the principle of reciprocity, Perceived Organizational Support brings a sense of obligation of care for the interests of the organization to employees. In return for the organization’s support, employees may increase more favorable behavior for organizational, induce organizational cynicism behavior. The impact of Perceived Organizational Support on Organizational Cynicism affect and behavior is more than Organizational Cynicism belief. Employees organizational cynicism belief can be improved by strengthening the Perceived Organizational Support, but that effectual result need long-term efforts.
