Employee silence banyak terjadi di Indonesia dan menyebabkan banyak kerugian pada karyawan dan organisasi. Sayangnya, hingga saat ini masih terdapat gap pengetahuan tentang apa saja yang memengaruhi employee silence. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji apakah traditionality dan psychological safety memiliki hubungan dengan acquiescent silence dan defensive silence. Penelitian dilakukan terhadap 276 karyawan di sebuah institusi pemerintahan Indonesia dengan metode survei menggunakan kuesioner. Hasil analisis multiple-regression menunjukkan bahwa psychological safety memiliki hubungan negatif dengan acquiescent silence (? = -,88; p<0,1) dan defensive silence (? = -,88; p<0,1). Selain itu, traditionality tidak memiliki hubungan dengan acquiescent silence dan defensive silence. Implikasi terhadap penelitian mengenai employee silence dan cara meminimalisasi employee silence pada organisasi didiskusikan lebih lanjut.
