Abstract :The purpose of the study is to evaluate the relationship between organizational silence and exit intention and perceived leadership styles. The survey technique was the means of data collection. The results of the study, which involved 385 employees in the hotel sector in Istanbul, showed that the majority of employees believed their managers to be transformative leaders. The fundamental hypothesis that leadership style perception affects organizational quiet and departure intention was agreed upon. Furthermore, it was determined that both the sub-hypotheses regarding the significant and negative impact of transactional and transformational leadership on fear-based silence and the hypothesis regarding the significant and positive impact of these two leadership philosophies on silence for the organization\\\'s benefit were accepted. Furthermore, the hypothesis that transactional leadership significantly and favorably influences employees\\\' intentions to leave the company was approved, however the hypothesis that transformational leadership significantly and adversely influences employees\\\' intentions to leave the company was rejected.
