Social loafing behavior, which is seen as one of the factors that harm team outputs is thought to be a subject that should be handled carefully because the services provided in health institutions are of a nature that touches human life. In this context, the main purpose of this study is to reveal the importance of social loafing in health institutions and to examine the mediating role of job satisfaction and organizational commitment in the relationship between the individual's own social loafing and the social loafing of her colleagues. The questionnaire forms used as a data collection tool in the research were distributed to the healthcare workers working in a public hospital in Ankara through face-to-face interview method and the data obtained from 336 healthcare workers were analyzed by SPSS 21.0 using. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to reveal the mediating effects between the variables examined in the study. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that the social loafing of colleagues has a significant and positive effect on the social loafing of the individual and that job satisfaction has a partial mediation effect in the relationship between the two variables. However, it was determined that organizational commitment did not mediate the relationship between the social loafing of colleagues and the social loafing of the individual.
