Abstract :

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between organizational silence and citizenship behavior regarding a mediating role as organizational commitment of employees. This research is one of the Descriptive and Correlational researches. The population of this study consists of all staff members of khash Agriculture Organization whose number is 67. The present sample in this study composed of all employees of the organization. The data were collected by using a standardized questionnaire for each variable, including organizational silence questionnaires (14 questions), OCB [organizational citizenship behavior] (14 questions) and organizational commitment (24 questions). After distributing questionnaires among the employees of the organization, 61 questionnaires were collected. Data analysis was done by using structural equations and Amoos software. The results show that organizational silence with increased organizational commitment has no effect on organizational citizenship behavior. In other words, organizational commitment is not a mediator between organizational citizenship behaviors and organizational silence.
