Abstract	Psychological safety—the shared belief that a team is safe for taking interpersonal risk- has emerged as an important concept in contemporary organizational psychology and management research. This research synthesizes empirical and theoretical literature to propose an integrative framework detailing the core attributes, multi-level enablers, and strategic outcomes of psychological safety. Using a systematic literature evaluation across healthcare, corporate, education, and sports environments, we analyze how leadership styles (e.g., benevolent, servant, inclusive), team dynamics, and organizational cultures promote psychological safety. In turn, we reveal that psychological safety directly promotes key outcomes such as employee voice, knowledge sharing, innovation, affective commitment, and overall team performance. The paper wraps up with practical suggestions for organizational leaders looking to foster high-trust, learning-oriented work environments.
