ABSTRACT: In this study, we explored the generation and influence mechanism of employees’ silence behavior from the perspectives of different relationship with colleagues and leaders. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 226 employees to investigate the possibility of employees’ silence behavior in organizational situations. The results of regression analysis show that: 1) Colleagues’ exclusion has a significant positive effect on employees’ silence behavior; 2) Psychological security has a significant negative effect on employee silence behavior, and psychological security plays a part mediating role between colleagues exclusion and silence behavior; 3) Supervisor support has a significant negative moderating effect on the relationship between colleague exclusion and psychological security.
