Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, çalışanların seslilik ve sessizlik davranışlarının demografik özelliklere göre nasıl değiştiğini ortaya koymaktır. İran ve Türkiye olmak üzere iki farklı örneklem kullanılmıştır. Her iki örneklem için de katılımcılara 160 anket dağıtılmıştır. Çeşitli sektör katılımcılarından, İran örneklemi için 123, Türkiye örneklemi için ise 149 kullanılanıbilir anket elde edilmiştir. Veriler anket formu kullanılarak toplanmış ve SPSS istatistik programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Çalışan sesliliği ve sessizliği ölçümlemek için Dyne, vd., (2003), tarafından geliştirilen, 30 madde ve altı faktörden oluşan ölçek kullanılmıştır. Ölçek faktör yapısı belirlenmesi için açıklayıcı faktör analizi kullanılmıştır. Daha sonra ölçek güvenilirliği için alfa katsayıları belirlenmiştir. Çalışan seslilik ve sessizlik davranışlarının demografik özelliklere göre anlamlı farklılığını belirlemek için t testi ve Anova testi uygulanmıştır. Hem İran hem de Türkiye örnekleminde demografik özellikler arasında çalışanın sesliliği ve sessizliği davranışları açısından önemli farklılıklar bulunmuştur. Çalışanlar arasındaki benzerlik ve farklılıklar bu iki ülke açısından karşılaştırılmıştır.
