This study aimed to demonstrate the dual mediating effect of psychological safety(PS) and silence climate(SC) in the process of team leader's self-deception behavior(SD) influencing team learning(TL). We conducted a survey of 294 workers in domestic companies and analyzed the data statistically using SPSS 21 and SPSS Process Macro for hierarchical regression and bootstrapping. The results are as follows: 1. all correlation coefficients are significant showing that SD has positive correlations with SC and negative correlation with PS and TL, 2. simple mediation effects(SD-PS-TL and SD-SC-TL) are all significant, 3. the dual mediation effect of psychological safety and silence climate on the relation between team leader's self-deception behavior and team learning(SD-PS-SC-TL) is verified. This study showed that the authenticity of team leaders could be an crucial element for organizational communication and effectiveness. Finally, limitations and suggestions for future research were discussed.
