description Background/Aim: This study aims to reveal the mediating role of the psychological contract with regard to the effect of inertia on the organizational performance of healthcare workers in radiation. Materials And Methods: The data were collected by using a survey. The questionnaire form consists of four parts. The first part included the “Inertia Scale” second, the “Psychological Contract Scale”, third part “Organization Performance Scale,”, fourth, questions regarding the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants were included. The target population was the 745 healthcare professionals working in the field of radiation from hospitals in the city of Konya, Turkey; thus, no sampling method was selected and an attempt was made to cover the entire population. A total of 419 healthcare professionals agreed to participate in the study. Process Macro Model 4 structural equation model were used in the analyses of data, descriptive statistics, validity and reliability, and correlation. Results: Inertia has a negative effect on the psychological contract (β = - 0.455). The psychological contract has a positive effect on organizational performance (β = 0.823). In addition, inertia has a negative effect on organizational performance (β = - 0.311). This effect increases (β = - 0.143) with the addition of the mediating role of psychological contract. Conclusion: The psychological contract loses its effect and reduces organizational performance due to inertia. Therefore, inertia is one of the issues that merit research to increase organizational performance.
