Abstract

In this study, we examined the curvilinear relationship between employees insecurity and voice behavior. Meanwhile, we investigated the meditated influence of organization-based self-esteem and felt obligation for constructive change. Results totally supported this framework. Specifically, they include: (1) quantitative job insecurity was associated with promotive voice and prohibitive voice in the inverted U-shaped relationship; (2) qualitative job insecurity was negatively correlated with promotive voice and prohibitive voice; (3) the organization-based self-esteem and the felt obligation for constructive change played a mediated role in the relation of job insecurity and employee voice behavior. Implication and limitations, as well as future directions were discussed by the end.
