Popis: Voice is a proactive self-expressive behaviour of employees which has various positive impacts and is a potential contribution towards organization effectiveness. Existing studies have highlighted a difference between two types of voice, promotive and prohibitive. Although both types of voice benefit the organization, prohibitive voice implies an inherent challenge. The study hypothesizes that a manager may take prohibitive voice as a challenging activity and may perceive employees with promotive voice as loyal ones and those with a prohibitive voice as threatening for the organization. Further it aims to examine the managers’ response towards voice in form of evaluation of performance and the mediating effect of managers’ perceived loyalty and threat on this judgement. To empirically test the proposed model, data were collected by employees and their supervisors working at various private servicing and manufacturing organizations through survey questionnaires. Results revealed that performance evaluation is negatively related with perceived loyalty and positively associated with perceived threat.
