A Systematic Literature Review of the Organizational Voice

This paper aims to investigate the related literature on employee voice to propose an integrated concept of employee voice across different management areas, e.g., human resources, industrial relationships, and organizational behavior. The initial search provided 115 papers; however, the final investigation was conducted on 49 articles drawn from organizational behavior. Despite the variety of conceptualization of employee voice in different management disciplines, there is no evidence on different voice mechanisms as an integrated concept. The research method is a systematic review of articles based on the Wetten framework in the 1970-2019 time efficiency of employee voices in different management areas. This systematic literature review concludes that employee voice research contributes to understanding voice behavior. This study also highlights some domains, such as understanding the concept of employee voice upon which future research can be built.
