Abstract
Learning from employees on the front lines is critical for organizations’ ability to adapt, change, and learn. Leaders can play a crucial role in enabling and encouraging employees to express their ideas about how their organization can grow and improve. However, not all leaders seem to be successful at promoting employees’ desire to offer their ideas. We present a research study in this paper that demonstrates how leaders who are humble effectively promote voice. Furthermore, we show that when employees express voice, the contribution they make is recognized by their supervisors and they are more likely to be seen as good performers. We discuss the practical implications of this research and offer important ways leaders can promote and encourage the implementation of voice. Presentation Time: Wednesday, 11 a.m.-12 p.m. Zoom link: https://usu-edu.zoom.us/j/85282214929?pwd=Yld6WTgvSG01QmFTK3dTSHlDamZtUT09
