Abstract

ABSTRACT Employee voice (EV) has been recognised as an essential tool for high-performance work systems (HPWS) in achieving organisational effectiveness. Studies have drawn scholars’ attention to better understand the relationship between EV and HPWS. By taking an employee-centric approach, this study investigates organisational engagement climate (OEC) as a process through which HPWS translates into EV. Data were retrieved from employees of four telecommunication companies in Nigeria through a two-wave time lag. The data collected was analysed using partial least squares-structural equation modelling. The results indicate that HPWS has positive and direct relationships with OEC and EV. Similarly, the OEC was found to have a positive and direct relationship with EV, while it mediated the relationship between HPWS and EV. Accordingly, the results demonstrate that the implementation and provision of HPWS and OEC fosters a conducive work environment and enhances employees’ voice behaviour. The implications are discussed in the paper.
