ABSTRACT

Although researchers have recently paid increasing attention to organizational silence, further research is needed that examines the negative outcomes of organizational silence. In this study, we tested the relationship between face-threatening behavior by supervisors and organizational silence. The mediating role of interactional injustice of subordinates between threatening behaviors of supervisors and organizational silence was also tested. Based on related theory and literature review, hypotheses were developed and tested. Participants were 310 employees of six manufacturing firms. Statistical analysis demonstrated that, as hypothesized, face- threatening actions of supervisors were positively related to subordinates' sense of interactional injustice, which was positively correlated to organizational silence. In particular, the mediating roles between supervisor's face-threatening behavior and organizational silence were also supported. Implications and directions for future research are discussed in the conclusion.
