Milczenie i przełamywanie milczenia w organizacji
Keywords:
milczenie; głos; organizacja; przełamywanie milczenia
Abstract
Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie zjawiska milczenia w organizacji. Milczenie rozumiane jest jako decyzja o niezabieraniu głosu w sytuacji nieprawidłowości mających miejsce w organizacji lub wtedy, gdy można zasugerować korzystne dla organizacji zmiany. Wyróżniono dwa typy milczenia: milczenie jako efekt społecznie podzielanych przekonań oraz milczenie jako taktyka. W artykule poruszane jest także zagadnienie przełamywania milczenia. Postulat przełamywania milczenia jest zgodny z podejściem partycypacyjnym, które przypisuje wartość uczestnictwu pracownika w podejmowaniu decyzji organizacyjnych. Milczenie ogranicza uczestnictwo, wielogłos, indywidualną kreatywność i blokuje zmiany w organizacji.
