Abstract
In organizations, some employees would ingratiate superiors rather than to speak out a truth so as to maintain the harmonious interpersonal relationships, and avoiding discomfort in communication. With such motives, employees tend to report good news and refrain bad news in their voice behavior. Yet, there is very little research explanatorily studying why employees perform voice behavior specifically on “Report Nothing but Good News”. Study 1 used a qualitative approach to explore constructs of employee voice behavior about “Report Nothing but Good News”. Three concepts emerged from our analysis, including the dimensions of selective expression, downplaying and ostensible expression. Based on the three concepts we found in Study 1, a nine-item scale was developed and validated by exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis in Study 2. Finally, practical and theoretical implications were discussed.
