Wpływ przynależności do grupy zawodowej pielęgniarek i lekarzy na milczenie organizacyjne

Abstract

The impact of belonging to the professional group of nurses and doctors on the organizational silence Employees who have relevant information about the functioning of the organization sometimes decide to share this information, and in other cases, they choose not to disclose their opinion. In the literature on the subject, this phenomenon is called organizational silence. This study aimed to try to answer whether the position in the organization and belonging to a specific professional group will impact organizational silence. The survey covered representatives of employees of two professional groups – doctors and nurses. The questionnaires were completed by 30 doctors and 35 nurses. The study showed that in the three analyzed situations, the hypothesis, assuming that the silence of employees is more pronounced in a situation where the violation of the applicable professional standards concerns people from the same professional group of nurses or doctors, was confirmed only in the case of a “mistake in administering the drug”.
