Effect of Commitment-based Human Resource Management Practices on Employee Voice Behavior: The Roles of Perceived Insider Status and Organizational Embeddedness

Abstract

Employee voice behavior shown by employees independently for the long-term development of the organization plays an important role in the performance improvement of the enterprise and has been a hot research topic in the academic circle. On the basis of 256 employee-leader paired questionnaires and using multiple regression analysis, this paper explores the mechanism of how commitment-based human resource management practices (CBHRMPs) affect employee voice behavior. The findings indicate that employee voice behavior is positively effected by CBHRMPs while it is totally mediated by perceived insider status. What’s more, the mediation effect is positively moderated by organizational embeddedness. This study has both important theoretical and practical significance on how to stimulate employee voice behavior.
