The qualitative method was used to understand the reasons for the employees' silence, for which
in-depth interviews were conducted. In this paper, 20 employees of the private sector in Kosovo were
interviewed. Of the employees who were interviewed, seven of them are from the production sector,
five from the service sector, three from the private education sector, and five from the trade sector.
The interview data determined codes and categories, which were analyzed using the content analysis
method. The data provided by the interview participants were analyzed through the MAXQDA 2020
qualitative data analysis program. Three categories with 21 codes mentioned in 263 cases were
identified during data processing. The results show that the employees' fear of the managers and the
management's approach is among the main reasons for the employees' silence. In addition, other
reasons impacting employees' silence have been identified and presented in this paper. |
