Abstract

The present research aims to reveal the role of the destructive leadership in causing organizational silence in the directorate of Duhok Governorate. To achieve the research aim, the related literature was considered to develop the theoretical and methodological frameworks. A questionnaire was used as the main technique to collect data. The size of the final research sample included (57) employees in the directorate considered. The study used a group of statistical tools to analyze data by employing the (SPSS) package. The statistical indicators formed the basis for the presentation and discussion of the results of this study. The present study has reached a number of conclusions, including the existence of positive significant correlation between the destructive leadership and organizational silence at the macro and dimensional levels. Also, the destructive leadership has a significant impact on organizational silence. Finally, the study made several recommendations that focused on the necessity for managerial leaders in the directorate considered to work on getting rid of the potential negative effect of the destructive leadership and its behaviors in order to limit the availability of the phenomenon of organizational silence and eliminate its negative impacts that reflect on the employees’ psyche, their performance and the performance of the directorate as a whole.
