| Summary: | 碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 企業管理學系管理學碩士班 === 106 === The importance of employee voice for organizations has been much evidenced in literature. This study examines how and when employee perception of employee-supervisor fit influences employee voice. This study argues that supervisors are the major recipients of employee voice, and hence the higher employee perception of similarity (i.e. fit) with supervisors, the more their interactions with supervisors. Thus, they will be more aware of organizational expectations towards them, and consequently display more voice behaviors favorable to organizations. Since employee voice involves improvement of their own jobs and their colleagues’ jobs, workplace friendship may moderate the relationship between employee perception of employee-supervisor fit and employee voice. This study investigates the mediating role of psychological empowerment and the moderating role of workplace friendship on the relations between employee perception of employee-supervisor fit and employee voice. Data were collected with questionnaires distributed to a sample of 400 employees. Statistical analyses showed that employee perception of employee-supervisor fit had a positive relationship with employee voice and psychological empowerment played a mediating role. Workplace friendship strengthened the positive relationship between perceived employee-supervisor fit and the ability dimension of psychological empowerment, while workplace friendship weakened the positive relationship between perceived employee-supervisor fit and the influence dimension of psychological empowerment. Theoretical and practical suggestions were provided.
