Öz

Örgütlerde sessizlik yaygın bir durum olmasına rağmen yapısı bileşenleri etkileri konusunda çok az araştırma vardır Çeşitli kaynaklar iş görenlerin örgüt sorunlarıyla ilgili görüş ve endişelerini dile getirmede isteksiz davrandıklarını göstermektedir Bu durum insan kaynağını merkezine alan yeni yönetim paradigmaları ile çelişkili bulunmaktadır Son yıllarda sessizlik konusunu örgütler ve çalışanlar açısından ele alan araştırmalara rastlanmaktadır Bu çalışmada Türkiye örgüt yazınında henüz yer almayan sessizleşme kavramına dikkat çekmek ve araştırılmasını sağlamak amacıyla bir çerçeve oluşturulmaya çalışılmıştır Geniş bir yazın taraması ve incelemesi yapılarak örgütlerde sessizlik kavramı konuşma formlarıyla ilgili kavramlar sessizleşmenin dayandırıldığı teoriler sessizleşmeyi üreten ve geliştiren dinamiklere yer verilmiştir Gelecekteki araştırmaların yönüne ilişkin önerilerle çalışma tamamlanmıştır Anahtar kelimeler: Örgüt sessizlik SILENCE AT ORGANIZATIONS: THEORETICAL BACKGROUNDS OF SILENCE AND ITS DYNAMICS
