| Popis: | 103 Employee voice reflects the extent to which employees proactively participate in organizational operations, including expression of new ideas or concern about problems. In the study of Liang, Farh, & Farh(2012), employee voice were conceptualized as two different forms, promotive voice and prohibitive voice. This study, on the basis of regulatory focus theory, explored the antecedents of promotive voice and prohibitive voice, and the differential influence mechanisms. Due to the unique functions, the study proposed two different leadership styles as antecedents, transformational leadership and transactional leadership, to clarify the distinct influence on two employee voice. Furthermore, the study proposes that two leadership styles impact promotive voice and prohibitive voice through the different regulatory focus. After conducting a survey research of 218 valid samples from 40 Taiwanese businesses, this study find several interesting results. First, the result confirmed that different leaderships have separate effects on regulatory focus. Transformational leadership significantly predict promotion focus; transactional leadership significantly predict prevention focus. Moreover, different regulatory focus influenced the content of employee voice, promotion focus have positive relationship to promotive voice; prevention focus have positive relationship to prohibitive voice. most importantly, transformational leadership impact promotive voice via promotion focus, transactional leadership impact prohibitive voice through prevention focus. The discussions, limitations, future research directions, theoretical and managerial implication are discussed at the end. |
