Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between worker voice, i.e. individual workers speaking up for their own interests, and promotive voice, i.e. individual workers speaking up to contribute to the interests of the organisation. We apply structural equation modeling to our unique dataset, which contains voice behaviour of workers in the Netherlands (N = 3,159), to test our hypotheses. The results indicate that the supervisor response to worker voice has an indirect effect on promotive voice, suggesting that workers’ experiences with speaking up for their own interests impact their contributions to the organisation.
