Purpose
This study was done to identify the effect of the nurses practice environment and organizational justice on organizational silence in nurses. Methods: A descriptive correlational design was used. Participants were 162 nurses in general hospitals. Measurements included the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index, the Organizational Justice Scale, and Organizational Silence Scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN program. Results: Nurses' organizational silence, nurses practice environment and organizational justice were correlated, and the influence of social networking, marital status, education level and interactive justice on acquiescence silence were 21% and statistically significant. The effect of work units, work experience and procedural justice on defensive silence were 20%, and the effect of education level and procedural justice on prosocial silence were 12% and statistically significant. Conclusion: Interaction justice affected the Acquiescent silence, and procedural justices affected the defensive silence and prosocial silence. Therefore, nursing managers should improve their organizational culture so that the procedural justices that focus on the process of distributing compensation results and the interaction justice that focuses on fair treatment among members can be recognized by nurses. Then nurses can be encouraged to actively engage and express their opinions about the organization.
