Workplace ostracism and employee silence: an identity-based perspective

Abstract: PurposeExtant research has shown that workplace ostracism (WO) elicits counterproductive work behaviors, such as employee silence (ES), culminating in reduced job performance. However, lesser is known about the factors that buffer against this underlying linkage. With an emphasis on conservation of resource (COR) theory and social identity theory, this study investigates the hitherto unexplored moderating roles of moral identification (MI) and organizational identification (OI) in the relationship between WO a… Show more

“…First, the study presents a valuable contribution to the organizational behavior literature by investigating the occurrence context of employee silence behaviors of employees in the service sector organizations in Pakistan. Although it has been noted that research investigating counterproductive work behaviors has been mounting over the last decade (Jahanzeb et al, 2020; Sahabuddin et al, 2021); however, despite prior studies exploring the antecedents of employee silence behaviors from different perspectives (Jahanzeb et al, 2020), there is a dearth of research that examine the interpersonal antecedents of employee silence (Sahabuddin et al, 2021). For instance, employee silence is a multidimensional construct; however, only a small sample of studies has investigated its interpersonal antecedents to predict all forms of employee silence, that is, acquiescence silence, defensive silence, and prosocial silence (e.g., Ayub et al, 2021).…”

“…Second, in addition to investigating the main effects of workplace ostracism on employee silence, the present study predicted the moderating roles of NRB, organizational identification, and moral identification on the above association. This study answered the call of Jahanzeb et al (2020); Sahabuddin et al (2021) to explore the boundary conditions under which employee silence is more or less likely to occur. As such, the second contribution of this study is to provide meaningful insights into the boundary effects of organizational identification and moral identification in the relationship between workplace ostracism and employee silence.…”

“…People can also become silent and it can also permeate throughout society (Sahabuddin et al, 2021). According to Abdillah, Anita, and Zakaria in 2021 and Qian, Schreurs, and Jawahar in Consumers have a good desire to control their immediate environment and the decisions that have an impact on them (Chou & Chang, 2020).…”
