Abstract:
How employees communicate their ideas at work shapes how their ideas are received. When employees constructively communicate their ideas, the value of those ideas can be more readily recognized. Ideas that are not communicated constructively may be overlooked, ignored, or rejected, regardless of their potential value to an organization. This research contributes to the employee voice literature by introducing the concept of constructive voice delivery and examining its relationship with callings. The first study examined these relationships from the employee perspective, identified organizational attachment as the mechanism driving the relationship. The second study explored the relationship between callings and constructive voice delivery from managers’ perspectives. Furthermore, constructive voice delivery suppressed the positive effect callings have on employee performance.
