Abstract
In today's dynamic and competitive environment, organizations depend on employee voice as a source for improvement and innovation. Given its importance, it is not surprising that scholars have devoted significant attention to identifying and understanding personal and contextual antecedents of employee voice. Despite these advances, our knowledge on how leaders and coworkers react to and are affected by voice is still limited. Collectively, the five empirical papers in this symposium show that voice is on the one hand highly sensitive to its environment (even physical attributes of leaders can make a difference) and yet also powerful in its effects on leaders/coworkers that have to deal with employee voice. As such, all studies are concerned with creating a positive environment for voice, with four studies examining how leaders/co-workers respond to employee voice and one study focusing directly on its antecedents. The studies in this symposium involve a range of methods including field-, scenario- based-, experimental-, and a daily experience sampling study. Following the presentations, Ethan Burris, who is a recognized expert on the topic of employee voice, will facilitate an interactive discussion with the audience in which key insights and recommendations for advancing the field of employee voice are distilled and discussed.
