Abstract

This research assesses the impact of participative leadership in tackling organisational silence within institutions, focusing on gathering insights from employees at Biskra's Public Health Institution. The research sample included 50 workers, and a descriptive methodology was used to elucidate and examine topics about the study subject. To accomplish this purpose, a questionnaire was used as the primary research instrument, supplemented by using SPSS.V22 for statistical data analysis. The study obtained several results, the most important of which is a moderate level of participative leadership, measured at an average of 3.272. Furthermore, it identified a heightened level of organisational silence among employees in the public health institutions of the local area under examination, with an average value of 3.533. In addition, participative leadership was instrumental in explaining 7.6% of the variations in organisational silence observed within the institutions studied.
