A Review on the Study of Employee Voice from an Integrative Perspective

Abstract

Abstract:

Research about employee voice has been studied across a range of disciplines. However, there has been a lack of an integrative framework on employee voice so far, resulting from differences in its conceptualization across the disciplines. From an integrative view, this review focuses on an analysis of the human resource management and organizational behavior disciplines' research about employee voice. This paper presents a review on the theoretical study of employee voice and identifies the diversification in its concept and study across disciplines. Further, it illustrates the antecedents and consequences of employee voice from management-employee interaction perspective, which is the common view between human resource management and organizational behavior disciplines. Finally, it proposes a model from an integrative view and puts forwards some future research directions.

Key words: employee voice, human resource management, organizational behavior, integrative view, review
