In this research, data analysis was investigated using SPSS and Smart PLS software. The results of the study of the structural model of the research showed that the factors of toxic job structure and toxic leadership have a significant role (P<0.001) in creating a toxic organizational atmosphere. Interpersonal relationships and toxic service reward and compensation system play a significant role (P<0.05) in creating a toxic organizational atmosphere, but the toxic physical structure does not have a significant role in creating a toxic atmosphere (P<0.05). .
