Employee-focused voice and organizational voice exert differential effects on Innovation and Burnout

??No one denies the importance of employees speaking up about workplace issues but the idea that the interests of employees and managers are distinct concerning the purpose of voice. Burnout?is increased?by?organizational?voice and ameliorated?by?employee-focused?voice?but?innovative?behaviors is facilitated by organizational voice and despite having a positive total effect on burn-out, organizational voice has an indirect negative effect, through employee-focused voice, on burnout, according to a new interesting research published in the Human Resource Management Journal John Wiley & Sons Commercial Service Co Ltd by a team of US and Australian researchers - using data from nearly 2000 UK employees based on?online survey distributed by YouGov

? Correlation between 2 voices

Researchers found that employee-focused voice was moderately correlated with organizational voice (r?=?0.41) using a technic called common method variance (CMV).

?Impact on Burnout

Researchers found a direct relationships between organisational voice (OV), employee-focused voice (EV) and burnout.

? Impact on Innovative behavior

Researchers found also a direct relationships between organizational voice (OV), employee-focused voice (EV) and innovative behavior.

?? Researchers noticed that the total effect of organizational voice is indeed significantly and positively associated with employee burnout but they didn't found that organizational voice would have a positive indirect effect through employee-focused voice on innovative behavior.

?? Researchers conclude that Organizational and employee-focused voice should be viewed as discrete constructs. Rather?than?being?mutually?exclusive,?the?two?voice?forms?ebb?and?flow?in?response?to?workplace?conditions. Taken together, these findings suggest that to achieve optimal outcomes for employee and organization, it is necessary to emphasize both forms of voice.

Researchers suggest that line managers and supervisors should be trained to encourage both forms of voice and offer reward and encouragement?reflecting?employees'?experiences?of?voice.?HR and other leaders need to understand employees' experiences of voice in the organization, in particular, if organizational voice or employee-focused voice is at the forefront, whether there are pockets of strength in some parts of the organization rather than others and what effect this may incur for employee wellbeing as well as strategically apposite factors such as innovative behaviors
