| Abstract | Background: Due to the sensitivity and complexity of healthcare environments, the emergence of phenomena such as organizational silence and organizational envy among staff can negatively affect professional interactions, teamwork, and ultimately the quality of healthcare services. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the explanation of the relationship between organizational envy and organizational silence among staff in educational hospitals of Yazd in 2024. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 297 employees in four educational hospitals, using stratified random and simple random sampling. Data were collected through two standardized questionnaires measuring organizational silence and organizational envy. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation), independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and linear regression were used. Results: The findings indicated that only a significant relationship was observed with work experience (P = 0.012). Organizational envy showed a significant relationship only with gender (P = 0.039). The Pearson correlation coefficient between organizational silence and organizational envy was 0.217, which was statistically significant and weak (P = 0.001). Furthermore, regression analysis showed that organizational envy was a significant positive predictor of organizational silence (β = 0.216, P = 0.000). Conclusions: Considering the positive, significant, yet weak relationship between the two main variables under investigation, an increase in organizational silence leads to a slight increase in organizational envy. It is recommended that managers reduce silence and envy among employees by enhancing communication skills, providing equal educational opportunities, and fostering a transparent and trustworthy work environment. | en |
