Context: Most software companies strive to have high-performing teams and mitigate withdrawal behaviors like being present but unproductive. In this context, psychological safety and developers perceived impact are suggested as potential drivers of voice and silence behaviors. However, understanding these social aspects of software development entails the incorporation of social science theories . Objective: This study aims to empirically demonstrate whether such a new theory about voice and silence at work actually applies to the software development context. Method: We plan to use a survey questionnaire design. This study will collect data from software development teams and analyze the result using structural equation modeling (SEM) technique. It can contribute to extent of the body of knowledge about the topic.

翻译：背景：大多数软件公司致力于打造高绩效团队，并减少诸如“出勤不出力”等退缩行为。在此背景下，心理安全感和开发者的感知影响力被认为是建言与沉默行为的潜在驱动因素。然而，理解软件开发的这些社会层面需要引入社会科学理论。目的：本研究旨在通过实证检验，探讨这一关于工作中建言与沉默的新理论是否适用于软件开发情境。方法：我们计划采用问卷调查设计。本研究将从软件开发团队收集数据，并使用结构方程模型（SEM）技术分析结果。这将有助于拓展该主题的知识体系。
