organizational silence and perceived leadership behavior among radiology technicians. A total of 269 radiology technicians were included in this study. Participants completed the questionnaire form on study instruments including Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ), Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ), Instrumental Leadership Scale (ILS), and Organizational Silence Scale (OSS) to assess job satisfaction, organizational commitment, instrumental leadership and organizational silence, respectively. Organizational commitment scores were significantly higher in private vs. public sector employees (3.61(0.63) vs. 3.47(0.65), p<0.05). High job satisfaction was significantly predicted by the lower education (B:-1.67), higher instrumental leadership behavior (B:13.58), and lower organizational silence (B:-0.91), while high organizational commitment was significantly predicted by the high instrumental leadership behavior (B:0.20) and high job satisfaction (B:0.03). Our findings revealed job satisfaction and organizational commitment of radiology technicians to be at moderate levels and to be positively correlated with each other. The job satisfaction and instrumental leadership were the significant predictors of organizational commitment, emphasizing the role of job satisfaction as an antecedent rather than a consequence of organizational commitment. Instrumental leadership was the common predictor of both organizational commitment and job satisfaction, while organizational silence predicted poor job satisfaction among radiology technicians.
