EMPLOYEE VOICE BEHAVIORS: MANAGER INTENTION-OUTCOME AND POLITICAL WORKPLACE

Employees often encounter the decision of whether speaking up or remaining silent in case of work-related issues. There are recent studies about how attributions made about supervisors' behaviors and organizational environment may be cue for various forms of voice behaviors. The objective of the study is to examine multi-layers affecting employee voice behavior: (1) “political workplace” where political influence is used at safe-risky at organizational level, and (2) attribution toward “supervisors' prosocial-selfish intention and fair-unfair outcomes” at dyadic level. The originality of the study is holistic and quasi-experimental view on the determinants of voice behaviors, including situational cues.
