Design/methodology/approach
A quantitative approach was utilized and 870 questionnaires were distributed to collect data from nursing staff working in Punjab region of Pakistan by using non-probability multistage sampling technique. A total of 711 questionnaires were returned, out of which, 668 questionnaires were scrutinized. Additionally, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were applied to analyze the data.
Findings
The results revealed an insignificant mediating effect of organizational cynicism between the relationship of horizontal violence and turnover intention.
Research limitations/implications

Therefore, at the first stage, the researcher used convenience sampling and at the second stage, the researcher utilized quota sampling to collect the data. Moreover, the findings of the current study are based on cross-sectional data because of the limited time and resources.
Practical implications
The current study fosters the ongoing debate in organizational studies related to cynicism, and it is noteworthy for the nursing managers to understand the significant factors which directly or indirectly affect the nursing attitude.
Originality/value
The current study explored the mediating role of organizational cynicism between horizontal violence and turnover intention to fill the research gap.
