Abstract
Leader voice solicitation denotes leaders proactively seeking work related opinions and suggestions from their subordinates. Extant research has investigated the static informational outcomes, paying little attention to its potential dynamic motivational effects to employees. Drawing from work engagement theory, this study examined the dynamic positive effects of leader voice solicitation from a motivational perspective. Using a twice-day experience sampling method to collect data from 107 employees in a week, we found that, on a daily basis, leader voice solicitation had a positive effect on employees’ work engagement, which in turn promoted employees’ proactivity. Moreover, authoritarian leadership would weaken the positive relationship between daily leader voice solicitation and daily employees work engagement. Our findings generated some interesting implications for theory and managerial practice.
