Abstract :This study was conducted by meta-analysis method to examine the effect of organisational silence on burnout. In the study, 3111 studies were accessed as a result of searching the ‘OpenAlex’ and ‘scholar.google’ databases with the keywords ‘silence’ and ‘burnout’ in the period covering the years 2020-2025. The 15 studies that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were analysed with a total sample size of 3869. The analyses were performed using CMA 3.0 (Comprehensive Meta Analysis 3.0) software. Q and I2 test results showed that there was a high level of variance (heterogeneity) among the analysed studies (Q =488.70, I2=97.13). Therefore, meta-analysis was performed using a random effect model. According to the findings, it was determined that there was a positive and significant relationship between organisational silence and burnout (r=0,635, p<0,05). In the analyses performed with Fisher\\\'s Z transformation, it was seen that confidence intervals supported this relationship. Egger\\\'s test, Duval and Tweedie\\\'s cut and add test, Begg and Mazumdar rank correlation were used for bias analysis and it was concluded that there was no publication bias. Funnel Plot analyses also show that the risk of bias is low.
