| Abstract | Verbal communication is vital to organizational effectiveness and success. Creative ideas and solutions to organizational problems often result from open discussions among work colleagues. Nevertheless, employee silence is commonplace in organizations, and employees often remain silent when they have ideas, information, or solutions to the organizational problems. This paper attempts to explain employee silence from an organizational politics perspective. Specifically, the paper outlines how perceptions of organizational politics (POPs) increase the tendency for the employees to remain silent. This paper found empirical support that the Go Along to Get Ahead dimension of POPs is the most influential dimension contributing to the silence. The empirical results suggest two main explanations. First, POPs cause the sense of alienation within employees, thereby increasing the tendency for the employees to remain silent. Second, due to POPs, employees are more inclined to engage in self-interested, politically opportunistic silence. Implications and suggestions for managerial practices and future research are provided. |
