Abstract

The present study demonstrates how a new construct called harmony-oriented implicit voice beliefs regulates the relationship between participative decision making and employee voice behavior. Employing a contextualized research strategy, we developed a valid measure for this new construct. We examined the hypothesized relationships using a two-wave data collected from a sample of 173 subordinates and their immediate supervisors from a Chinese firm. Our results showed that harmony-oriented implicit voice beliefs negatively moderated the relationship between participative decision making and prohibitive voice. Further, team cooperative goal further exacerbated this negative moderating effect. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
