Abstract (EN)

Organizational cynicism has become a significant area of interest in organizational behavior and management studies due to its potential impact on employee attitudes and behaviors. This study explores organizational cynicism's effect on democratic culture within the workplace. Organizational cynicism may be characterized by a pervasive sense of distrust and disappointment toward organizational practices and leadership, often stemming from unmet expectations and perceived injustices. It poses significant challenges to fostering a democratic culture characterized by open communication, participation, and shared decision-making. This study gathers data from literature regarding participants' experiences and perceptions of cynicism and democratic engagement within their organizations. Key themes explored include the origins of cynicism, its manifestations in everyday workplace interactions, and its impact on participatory practices. The study aims to uncover the underlying factors contributing to cynicism and how it influences the overall culture of democracy in the workplace. The analysis reveals that organizational cynicism significantly undermines democratic principles by creating an atmosphere of distrust, reducing employee engagement, and limiting collaborative decision-making. The findings indicate that leaders' communication styles and perceived transparency play crucial roles in either exacerbating or alleviating feelings of cynicism among employees. This study highlights the urgent need for organizational interventions to cultivate a democratic culture. Recommendations include fostering transparent communication, implementing inclusive decision-making processes, and actively listening to employee concerns. By addressing the roots of cynicism, organizations can enhance trust, promote engagement, and ultimately strengthen their democratic culture.
