In terms of purpose, the present research was applied, and in terms of the nature of the problem and the method of data collection, it was a descriptive-correlation type of research, and it was considered one of the survey researches. The statistical population of this research included all the principals of secondary schools in Shiraz, numbering 217 people, and according to Morgan's table, the statistical sample size was considered to be about 127 people.

The content validity of all three questionnaires was confirmed by experts and its reliability was determined after a trial run among 30 managers by calculating Cronbach's alpha for three questionnaires, respectively 0.84, 0.90 and 0.94. The collected data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and path analysis and SPSS and AMOS software. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between organizational silence and its dimensions with transformational leadership and organizational whistle-blowing, and organizational whistle-blowing and its dimensions have a significant relationship with transformational leadership. Finally, the results of the path analysis test showed that organizational whistle-blowing played a mediating role in the relationship between organizational silence and transformational leadership from the perspective of secondary school principals.
