Abstract: Objective: Globalization affects healthcare professionals’ working conditions, ways of doing business, and perspectives for the future. From this perspective, the research aims to determine the relationship between global future perception, job insecurity, and future anxiety among healthcare professionals. Method: The research was conducted with 414 healthcare professionals. “The Perceived Global Future Scale,” “Job Insecurity Scale,” and “Dark Future Scale” were used as data collection tools. Results: The Perceived global future scale total score average of the healthcare professionals was 2.19±0.91, the dark future scale score average was 23.31±6.44, and the job insecurity scale score average was 22.37±4.03. A weak positive relationship was observed between the perceived global future scale and the job insecurity scale. A significant relationship was observed between the perceived global future scale factors and the job insecurity scale and future anxiety scale (p < .05). A significant and positive weak relationship was observed between the job insecurity scale and the future anxiety scale (p < .05). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between global future perception and factors and job insecurity and future anxiety among healthcare professionals. As the perception of job insecurity increases, future anxiety also increases. At this point, it is recommended that institution managers and manager nurses at the micro level and policymakers at the macro level take initiatives to reduce job insecurity and future anxiety that are affected by globalization.
