Abstract: Objective: To explore the deep experience of organizational silence behavior of male nurses in the emergency department and provide references for nursing managers to stabilize the resources of male nurses. Methods: The phenomenological method was used in this study. 14 male nurses working in the emergency department were given semi-structured interviews, and the data were analyzed using the Van Manen analysis method. Results: The experience of organizational silence of male nurses in the emergency department was distilled into 3 themes: fear and apprehension in silence, awe and obedience in silence, and comity and harmony in silence. Conclusion: Nursing managers should pay attention to the insecurity of male nurses' speeches, create a positive organizational atmosphere, improve nursing management beliefs, and actively listen to the diverse voices of nurses, so as to break the organizational silence and stabilize male nurses' resources.
