Abstract
ABSTRACT Teachers routinely face dissatisfying work conditions and may express their frustrations to their peers. This study explores the extent to which causal attributions of work-related doubt, occupational commitment, and intention to quit influence teachers’ willingness to voice their concerns about their occupation. Through a survey of 210 teachers in the United States, we found that teachers with a personal control orientation were less likely to express prohibitive voice. Moreover, both occupational commitment and intention to quit positively predicted teachers’ prohibitive voice. Our findings provide new insights into how teachers may use voice as a communication strategy to defend their occupation from potential harms. Implications and limitations of the study are further discussed.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
