The Effect of Mushroom Management Perception on Burnout Level in Health Workers: The Case of a Public Hospital

This study aimes to investigate the impact of mushroom management perception on burnout among healthcare workers. Among approximately 1700 healthcare workers working in a public hospital, 381 people were included in the study by convenience sampling method between December 28, 2023, and February 27, 2024. Parametric tests were used since they are suitable for normal distribution. As a result of the data analysis, it was determined that the perception of mushroom management was positively and moderately related to burnout, and the change in mushroom management explained 47% of the variance in the burnout variable. As a result, it was concluded that the mushroom management approach, which is the opposite of transparent and participatory management practices, is related to burnout in health workers. Therefore, it is recommended that managers should not prefer the mushroom management approach and prioritize a participatory management approach and open communication.
