In the evaluation of data; descriptive statistical analyses (mean, standard deviation, median, frequency, percentage, minimum, maximum), Shapiro-Wilk test, student's t test, Mann-Withney U test, One-way ANOVA, Games-Howell test, Kruskal Wallis test, Dunn-Bonferroni test, Pearson correlation analysis, Spearman correlation analysis, Regression and Lineer Regression analysis were used. The mean age of the nurses participating in the study was 31.73±5.89, 87.3% graduated from a bachelor's degree, 71.5% were married, and 33.6% had professional experience between 6 and 10 years, It has been found that 56.8% of the working time in the institution is 5 years and less, 45% work in internal services, 92.2% are nurses, 77% are staffed, 87.4% work day and night, 45.3% work 40 hours a week and 59.5% are interested. The total score average of the nurses' organizational climate was 2.90±0.29 and the organizational creativity scale was 124.42±15.18. A moderate, moderate, significant relationship was found between the total scores of nurses in the organizational climate and the total scores of organizational creativity (r=0.492; p=0.001; p<0.01). It has been observed that the organizational climate levels and organizational creativity perceptions of nurses are moderate and the perception of organizational creativity increases as the level of organizational climate increases.
