The results of the study found that all three independent variable namely management practice,communication climate and anticipated negative outcome having significant
relationship with silence behavior. Study model is good model with R square value(0.602). Anticipated negative outcome is most powerful predictor influence silence
behavior with β value (0.435). Personality factor on the other hand is the most powerful moderator variable influence interrelationship independent variable and
variable dependent. Indicative study findings shows that although Malaysian Army organization having open communication climate, however silence behavior still
