On the other hand, it has been determined that market culture has a positive and significant effect on organizational silence. In another analysis; it has been determined that the transparency and equality dimensions of organizational democracy have a negative and significant effect on organizational silence. According to the research results; while clan and adhocracy culture reduces organizational silence, market culture increases it.
