researchers theoretically have raised affective commitment as a result of organizational silence. In this paper, we first described organizational justice and organizational silence and their dimensions and then examined the relationship between organizational silence and affective commitment. Then, the hypothesis derived from the literature were presented. Then, to verify the hypothesis of this study, 257 samples were extracted from the employees and faculties of Guilan university.
