Data reliability and validity were assessed using Cronbach''''''''s alpha coefficient and consulting managers of Sepah Bank as experts, and the result was confirmed using confirmatory factor analysis technique. The research hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling technique based on the results of the LISREL software. Hypothesis test results indicate that the positive organizational behavior has a significant negative relationship with organizational silence.
