“…These practices include impolite requests, lack of participation in terms of 'speaking up', openness to criticism, and disagreement among co-workers. Finally, a recent systematic literature review [39] found that whistleblowing -another area of literature related to employee silence-is also an understudied area of SE research.…”

Context: Most software companies strive to have high-performing teams and mitigate withdrawal behaviors like being present but unproductive. In this context, psychological safety and developers' perceived impact are suggested as potential drivers of voice and silence behaviors. However, understanding these social aspects of software development entails the incorporation of social science theories . Objective: This study aims to empirically demonstrate whether such a new theory about voice and silence at work actually applies to the software development context. Method: We plan to use a survey questionnaire design. This study will collect data from software development teams and analyze the result using structural equation modeling (SEM) technique. It can contribute to extent of the body of knowledge about the topic.
