Employee voice: bridging new terrains and disciplinary boundaries

Abstract

One important commonality is the idea of voice being an act of verbal expression, where a message is conveyed from a sender to a recipient. voice is defined as discretionary behavior. Individuals choose whether or not to engage in this behavior at any particular moment in time, a choice that is affected by a variety of factors. A third commonality is the notion of voice being constructive in its intent. The objective is to bring about improvement and positive change, not simply to vent or complain.
