ABSTRACT: Purpose – The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of organizational cynicism on prosocial
voice and defensive silence and to verify the mediating role of workplace bullying in these relationships.
Design/methodology/approach – A cross-sectional survey design with a sample of 205 individuals
was used in this study.
Findings – The hypotheses were confirmed as organizational cynicism plays a significant and negative
influence on prosocial voice and a significant and positive influence on defensive silence. In addition,
workplace bullying partially mediates both relationships.
Originality/value – This study contributes to a deeper understanding of organizational cynicism and
workplace bullying influences on prosocial voice and defensive silence. It investigates a relationship that, to
the best of the authors’ knowledge, has not been studied yet. It also contributes to the discussion regarding the
close relationship between prosocial voice and defensive silence.
