Among the most fundamental decisions made by people in the workplace involves whether or not to express their ideas and concerns-or even if it is possible to do so. Are employees encouraged to speak up or to pipe down? Do they share ideas openly or do they remain silent in ways that are hurtful to individuals and harmful to the functioning of their organizations? Moving beyond the extreme actions of whistle-blowers, questions about having voice (can I speak?), exercising voice (do I speak?), the content of voice (what do I say?), and presumed reactions to voice (how will others respond to what I say?) are ubiquitous ones that frame the everyday behavior of people in organizations. Voice and Silence in Organizations is a collection of 12 original essays that address these and related issues from a wide variety of scholarly perspectives.
