Abstract

Existing research has examined the effect of social context on voice behavior such as interaction with supervisor, but the role of person-environment fit has received little attention. This research attempts to address this important issue from a conservation of resources perspective by exploring how and why person-job fit as well as person-organization fit could potentially affect voice behavior. Our findings indicate that person-job fit is positively related to voice behavior through the mediating effect of employee's psychological capital. Furthermore, person-organization fit moderates the relationship between person-job fit and psychological capital, as well as the indirect effect of person-job fit on voice behavior, such that the positive relationship and the indirect effect are stronger for employees with high person-organization fit. The current research highlights other important contextual factors and investigates how these factors could affect employee voice. Theoretical contributions, practical implications, and future research directions are discussed.
