AB  - This study employed a meta-analytic approach to explore the impact of motivation on organizational commitment. Meta-analysis is a structured synthesis technique used to aggregate and analyze the results of multiple quantitative studies conducted across different time periods and contexts, providing a comprehensive estimate of the overall effect size. For this research, a systematic literature search was carried out using Google Scholar and ProQuest databases, with the keywords “job motivation” and “organizational commitment.” The initial search yielded 609 studies published between 2020 and 2025. After a detailed screening process, 20 studies that directly examined the relationship between motivation and organizational commitment were selected. These studies collectively involved a total of 6,790 participants, and were included in the final meta-analysis. The Q and I² test results indicated a high level of variance (heterogeneity) among the studies analyzed (Q = 402.197, I² = 95.276). Therefore, a random effects model was employed to conduct the meta- analysis. According to the findings, a positive and significant relationship was found between organizational silence and burnout (r = 0.584, p < 0.05). Analyses conducted using Fisher’s Z transformation showed that the confidence intervals supported this relationship. To assess publication bias, various methods were utilized, including Egger’s test, Duval and Tweedie’s trim-and-fill test, and Begg and Mazumdar’s rank correlation test. These analyses indicated no significant publication bias. Funnel plot analyses also demonstrated a low risk of bias.
