Abstract
Although information is the premise of voice, the role of information plays in voice literature is less understood. In this study, we introduce the concept of voicer information advantage over peers to explore how information functions in the context of voice. Specifically, by incorporating the perspectives of self-interest behavior and voice as a planned behavior theory, we propose that employees possessing voice-related information advantage over their peers are motivated to voice by expected benefits brought to themselves. Moreover, this effect is particularly likely to exist in a cooperative rather than competitive team. An experiment employing a scenario task was designed to test our hypotheses. Data from 135 participants supported our hypotheses. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
