			The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between Dwarfism and organizational silence with the moderating role of moral sensitivity. This research is applied in terms of its purpose and its population consists of all employees in Hormozgan province. For this purpose, the issue was investigated by obtaining the opinions of 181 people from the target population through a simple random method in 1403. The findings of the study were tested by the Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach and structural equations in Smart-PLS software. The findings showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between Dwarfism and organizational silence. This means that with an increase in Dwarfism, organizational silence also increases. On the other hand, a negative and significant relationship was observed between moral sensitivity and organizational silence. This means that with an increase in the level of moral sensitivity, organizational silence decreases. On the other hand, the moderating effect of moral sensitivity on the relationship between Dwarfism and organizational silence is also decreasing. That is, with the presence of the moral sensitivity variable, the relationship between Dwarfism and organizational silence is reduced.
