Impact of Individual Cultural Values on Employee Silence: A Comparative Study of the USA and Türkiye

Abstract

This study examines the impact of individual cultural values on employee silence and tests the differences between Türkiye and the USA. The study's findings reveal that power distance leads to an increase in acquiescent and defensive silence, and uncertainty avoidance leads to an increase in prosocial and acquiescent silence. In contrast, collectivism and long-term orientation cause a decrease in acquiescent and defensive silence while causing an increase in prosocial silence. Lastly, masculinity leads to a decrease in prosocial silence. Country factor has been found to moderate power distance- acquiescent and defensive silence, long-term orientation-acquiescent and defensive silence, and masculinity-prosocial silence relationships.

Bireysel Kültürel Değerlerin Çalışan Sessizliği Üzerine Etkisi: ABD ve Türkiye'de Karşılaştırmalı Bir Araştırma

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, bireysel kültürel değerlerin çalışan sessizliği üzerindeki etkileri araştırılmış ve bu etkiler Türkiye ve ABD’de karşılaştırmalı olarak incelenmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları, güç mesafesi yöneliminin kabullenici ve savunmacı sessizliği pozitif yönlü, belirsizlikten kaçınma eğiliminin örgüt yararına ve kabullenici sessizliği pozitif yönlü, toplulukçuluk eğiliminin kabullenici ve savunmacı sessizliği negatif yönlü, uzun dönem yöneliminin kabullenici ve savunmacı sessizliği negatif yönlü, örgüt yararına sessizliği pozitif yönlü ve maskulenlik eğiliminin örgüt yararına sessizliği negatif yönlü etkilediğini göstermiştir. Ayrıca güç mesafesi-savunmacı sessizlik, güç mesafesi-kabullenici sessizlik, uzun dönem yönelimi-savunmacı sessizlik, uzun dönem yönelimi-kabullenici sessizlik ve maskulenlik eğilimi-örgüt yararına sessizlik ilişkilerinde ülke değişkeninin düzenleyici etkisi olduğu bulunmuştur.
