This article explores silence as a phenomenon and practice in the workplace through a Buddhist-enacted lens where silence is intentionally encouraged. It brings forward a reconsideration of the roles of silence in organizations by proposing emancipatory dimensions of silence—reflexivity, self-decentralization, and transformation. Based on 54 interviews with employees and managers in a Vietnamese telecommunications organization, we discuss the dynamic nature of silence, and the possible coexistence of the constructive and the oppressive aspects of silence in a workplace spirituality context. Instead of studying silence as one-dimensional, we call for an integrated view and argue that studying silence requires consideration of the multiplicity of its interconnected dimensions. By considering silence as a relational and emerging processes constructed around its vagueness and uncertainties, our study reveals the many possible ways silence is organized and organizes and sheds light on silence as a marker of the complexities and paradoxes of organizational life.

本文通过佛教制定的镜头探讨沉默是一种现象，并在工作场所进行实践，故意鼓励沉默。通过提出沉默的解放性维度，即反思性，自我分散性和变革性，它重新思考了沉默在组织中的作用。在对越南一家电信组织的员工和经理进行的54次访谈的基础上，我们讨论了沉默的动态本质，以及在工作场所精神环境中沉默的建设性和压迫性方面可能并存的情况。我们不是以一维的方式研究沉默，而是呼吁一个整体的观点，并认为研究沉默需要考虑其相互联系的维度的多重性。
