The study sample consisted of (290) faculty members from Yarmouk University, The Hashemite University, and Muta University. To achieve the aim of the study, a questionnaire developed by the researcher, was used after its validity and reliability had been proven. The main results were:

1- The overall degree of organizational silence at Jordanian universities was medium.

2- There were statistically significant differences in the means of the answers of the study sample concerning the degree of organizational silence due to colleges, in favor of faculty members of human sciences colleges, and due to the countries of graduation, in favor of Arab countries.
