Abstract

The major purpose of the study is to examine the impact of supervisor ostracism on employee voice behavior in Chinese organizational context. Furthermore,the mediating role of psychological safety and organizational based self-esteem, and the moderating effect of traditionality on the relationship between supervisor ostracism and employee voice behavior are explored. Hierarchical regression analyses on 262 matched samples of employees and supervisors dyads show that:(1)supervisor ostracism related negatively to employee voice behavior;(2) psychological safety and organizational based self-esteem partially mediates the relationship between supervisor ostracism and employee voice behavior;(3) traditionality moderate the relationship between supervisor ostracism and employee voice behavior such that supervisor ostracism has a stronger negative effect on voice behavior when traditionality of employee are low rather than high.
