In the study, 3111 studies were accessed as a result of searching the ‘OpenAlex’ and ‘scholar.google’ databases with the keywords ‘silence’ and ‘burnout’ in the period covering the years 2020-2025. The 15 studies that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were analysed with a total sample size of 3869. The analyses were performed using CMA 3.0 (Comprehensive Meta Analysis 3.0) software. Q and I2 test results showed that there was a high level of variance (heterogeneity) among the analysed studies (Q =488.70, I2=97.13). Therefore, meta-analysis was performed using a random effect model. According to the findings, it was determined that there was a positive and significant relationship between organisational silence and burnout (r=0,635, p KW - organizational silene KW - burnout KW - meta analysis N2 - Bu çalışma, örgütsel sessizliğin tükenmişlik üzerindeki etkisini incelemek amacıyla meta-analiz yöntemiyle gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Belirlenen dahil etme ve hariç tutma kriterlerine uygun 15 çalışma, toplam 3869 örneklem ile analiz edilmiştir. Analizler, CMA 3.0 (Comprehensive Meta Analysis 3.0) yazılımı kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Q ve I2 test sonuçları, incelenen çalışmalar arasında yüksek düzeyde varyans (heterojenlik) olduğunu göstermiştir (Q =488,70, I2=97,13). Bu nedenle, rassal etkili model kullanılarak meta-analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre örgütsel sessizlik ile tükenmişlik arasında pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir (r=0,635, p CR - Ainger, T.
