Abstract: Abstract Employee silence behavior refers to the act of employees choosing to remain silent at work for various reasons, not expressing their opinions, suggestions, or concerns. This behavior is widespread within many organizations and has a detrimental effect on corporate innovation, internal communication, and overall organizational performance. This study aims to investigate the primary factors influencing employee silence behavior and propose appropriate strategies. Through an extensive literature review, this study identifies employee personality traits, leadership style, and organizational environment as key factors significantly influencing employee silence. Based on these findings, this study suggests several improvement strategies, such as providing comprehensive training programs and psychological support for employees, improving leadership behavior through developmental initiatives, and optimizing the organizational culture to effectively reduce employee silence behavior and enhance overall organizational performance. By addressing these critical factors and implementing the proposed strategies, organizations can foster a more open and communicative environment, thereby reducing employee silence behavior.
