(A 50-word quick summary from my understanding)
Voice is positively associated with leader's change-oriented behaviors. While both perceived openness and transformational leadership positively influenced voice, former has a stronger influencer on voice. Psychological safety plays a mediating role in leader behavior-voice relationship. Also the influence of leadership behavior on voice is more pronounced for high performing subordinates. Quick Notes/queries:
(For my further delving)
- What could stimulate prosocial voice from poor performers?
- What if poor performance rating of a subordinate is attributable to prior level of his/her voice?
- How does voice behavior of the leader influence voice of subordinates?
