Abstract | ||||
Abusive supervision is a logical factor that promotes nurses to display negative feelings, depletes their cognitive resources, and diminishes their perspectives of interactional justice and silent behaviors. Aim: Assess the influence of head nurses' abusive supervision on nurses' organizational silence. Design: A descriptive - correlational design was used. Subjects: The study included two groups namely all (n=35) head nurses and a stratified random sample of nurses (n=310). Tools: It involved abusive supervision and nurses’ organizational silence scale. Results: The current study’s findings showed that 40.0% of head nurses had a moderate level of abusive supervision as well as the majority (84.8%) of nurses reported a low level of overall nurses' organizational silence. Conclusion: There was a highly statistically significant positive correlation between nurses’ abusive supervision and their organizational silence. Recommendations: Hospital management provides educational programs, seminars, and workshops for nursing staff regarding abusive supervision and organizational silence. | ||||
