Abstract: (6703 Views)
Universities, as a driving force in any country, play a key role in achieving various aspects of development. The most important asset and competitive advantage of any organization are its human resources. University employees, too, play a striking and influential role in the quality of the performance of their organization. Therefore, it is very important to address issues related to employees’ performance. The aim of this study was to explain the relationships between organizational silence and organizational commitment and their effect on employees’ social responsibility. Data were gathered through questionnaires distributed among 132 employees and were analyzed by structural equation technique. The results show that organizational silence has a positive and significant effect on social responsibility. Social responsibility has a positive and significant effect on organizational commitment. Also, results confirm the negative and significant effect of organizational silence variable on organizational commitment through the mediating variable of social responsibility. Finally, suggestions have been made for executives and researchers.
