Abstract

The present study aims to examine Attitudinal and Behavioral Openness and Intellectual Humility among employees in the healthcare sector, as well as to investigate the correlation between these two variables. The study was conducted on a sample of 326 employees during the year 2025. To achieve the research objectives, the researchers utilized the Attitudinal and Behavioral Openness Scale developed by Caligiuri et al. (2000), consisting of 20 items, and the Intellectual Humility Scale developed by Ameen (2023), also consisting of 20 items. After verifying the validity and reliability of both scales, they were administered to the study sample. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings revealed that the participants demonstrated a high level of Attitudinal and Behavioral Openness and Intellectual Humility. Furthermore, a positive correlation was found between Attitudinal and Behavioral Openness and Intellectual Humility. Based on these findings, several recommendations and suggestions were proposed.
