Özet:

The aim of this study is to study the influence of employers’ psychological contractual breach perceptions on organizational silence and to determine the instrumental role of personality characteristics on this influence. When it is examined in the summer, psychological contract breaches appear to have many negative consequences, such as job dissatisfaction, low organizational commitment, low organizational confidence, organizational sinism, organizational silence and the intention to leave the job. However, if there is a limited number of research on organizational silence, our research is aimed at contributing to literature in this direction from the point of view that personality characteristics should also be studied in terms of individual-organic harmony. The survey form was used as a data collection tool, consisting of four sections. The first part of the data collection tool includes a demographic form of information consisting of the participants’ gender, civic status, generation (born date), education level, time of work in the organization and position information. The psychological contract breach measurement, which was developed by Robinson and Rousseau (1994) in order to measure the perceptions of psychological contract breaches of individuals and translated by Çetinkaya (2014) in Turkish and identified in two dimensions by Kırboğa (2017) by reliability studies, and in the third part by Dyne, Ang and Botero (2003) and by Taşkıran (2010) in Turkish by reliability and validity studies and in the last part by Benet-Martinez and John (1998) and by Sumer and Sumer (2005) in Turkish by reliability and validity measurement. In our research, the easy-to-use sampling method has been preferred because it is not based on probability and allows everyone to be included in the sample. All of the survey forms applied to 225 white-held employees, which were reached online with the easy sampling method, were included in the sampling and the data obtained were analyzed using the SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 22.0 programs. Our study found that the relationship between the perception of psychological contract breach and organizational silence has a mediation effect on personality characteristics, and a variety of recommendations have been presented to managers in accordance with this conclusion.
