Abstract
Abstract only
Employee voice is a major concern of management scholarship. This symposium explores new lines of thought in employee voice research. A concern in contemporary voice literature is the intricate social dynamics that involve multiple voice actors and diverse voice channels. In addition to the well-examined role of voicer, interest is growing in other voice actors, such as voice endorsers, voice cultivators, voice allies, and voice implementers. This evolution of the voice literature coincides with the development of digital technology that has dramatically transformed when and where employees work and, consequently, how, when and the way employees communicate and speak up their ideas, concerns and suggestions. The digitization of the workplace challenges many conventional understandings of employee voice that were developed when people took it for granted the traditional ‘physical’ workplace and in-person communications. In this symposium, we bring together an internationally diverse team of scholars to discuss and extend the voice literature theoretically, empirically and methodologically (e.g., applying machine learning techniques to analyze big data on e-voice) with a shared focus on employee voice processes in the new workplace environment. More specifically, the symposium includes five presentations, in which authors 1) apply machine learning techniques to explore employees’ online voice activities, 2) report novel empirical insights about voice rejection and subsequent idea generation processes, 3) theorize about issue-selling processes specific to environmental issues, 4) share conceptual developments of employee voice as learned pattern of behavior within teams as network configurations, and lastly 5) examine employee voice in remote/virtual contexts. These studies also cover individual, team, and firm levels of analysis.
