Introduction: Silence in Iranian culture indicates satisfaction, but in organizations, especially health and medical organizations, silence does not indicate satisfaction, but on the contrary expresses a kind of silent protest.
Objective : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of managerial factors on organizational silence and also to investigate the role of nurseschr('39') personality in moderating the relationship.
Method: To answer question, a conceptual model was proposed by reviewing the theoretical foundations. To test the model, North Khorasan nurses were defined as the research population. Out of 1000 people in the statistical population, 240 people were selected as samples and standard research questionnaires after given reliability and stability were distributed in a cluster sampling. The collected data were tested with LISREL8software by using path analysis methods.
Findings: it showed that organizational silence among nurses gained 4/2 from 5 which is so high. The study also revealed that managerial factors (mechanical structures and work oriented leadership) have caused this organizational silence and personality factors have strongly influenced the effect of managerial factors on nurseschr('39') organizational silence (raised 2 to 5). Among the five characteristic factors, the two factors of conscientiousness and Agreeableness had the greatest effect on the relationship between managerial factors and organizational silence.
Conclusions: The research suggests that in order to reduce the organizational silence of nurses, the structures of the health care system and management style in hospitals should be changed and flexible. |
