Abstract

Past studies have found that organizational and cultural factors that are practiced have an influence on the behavior of silence and speech among employees. However, studies related to behavior and silence are more conducted in the West, which has different cultural dimensions. Thus, the findings of studies in the West may not be fully applicable in the Asian context. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between organizational beliefs (trust in the organization, trust in the leader, trust in the supervisor) with silent and vocal behaviors among employees. This study also examined cultural dimensions, power distance as a moderator for organizational trust relationships and silent and voice behaviors by employees. Quantitative method was used in this study. The study involved a total of 111 respondents from the manufacturing industry who were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 22.0 and SmartPls 3.0. The results of the study found that the power distance only strengthened the relationship between organizational trust with speaking behavior as well as the relationship of trust in the head and supervisor compared to silent behavior among employees. Therefore, the emphasis in the issue of organizational trust needs to be given attention as it is able to influence individual behavior in the workplace.
