- Climate of silence is detrimental to organizations' ability to change and develop in the context of pluralism.
- Climate of silence also has destructive outcomes on employees:
- Employees' feelings of not being valued
- Employees' perceived lack of control
- Employees' cognitive dissonance
- If you experience fear every day, it drags you down and you become cowardly.
- After my suggestions were ignored, the quality of my work was still there, but I wasn't.
- See the Figure from Morrison and Milliken's (2000) article below on the negative effects of organizational silence on organizational decision making, organizational change, employees' feelings, cognition, etc.
