Socially responsible human resource management and employee ethical voice: Roles of employee ethical self‐efficacy and organizational identification

Abstract

AbstractUsing social cognitive theory, we examine the relationship between socially responsible human resource management (SRHRM) and employees' ethical voice. Our study also explores the mediating role of employees' ethical self‐efficacy and the moderating role of organizational identification. Analysis of data gathered over three separate periods indicates that SRHRM is positively related to employees' ethical voice and that this relationship is mediated by employees' ethical self‐efficacy. Furthermore, employees' organizational identification influences not only the positive relationship between SRHRM and employees' self‐efficacy but also the indirect relationship between SRHRM and ethical voice via ethical self‐efficacy. The findings of this study provide theoretical contributions and managerial implications for SRHRM and ethical voice.
