The performance of nurses has become vital in hospitals. Some studies have suggested that nurses' perceptions of the ethical climate in their hospitals have relationship with higher job satisfaction and organizational commitment and thus influence organizational performance. Although a plenty of studies support this relationship in developed countries, there is a scarce empirical evidence in developing countries. This study tries to examine the relationship among the ethical climate, job satisfaction and organizational commitment of nurses in Bosnia and Herzegovina which is a developing and transitional country. 171 useful questionnaires were collected from nurses who are working in public hospitals. The relationships among variables were evaluated by descriptive statistics and correlations. The study demonstrated a strong and significant relationship among nurses' job satisfaction, organizational commitment and ethical climate of hospitals.
