Dissertation title
Employee voice behavior during organizational change

Dissertation Summary
I examine employees' change-related voice behavior as the mechanism through which their dissatisfaction with change implementation processes relates to their positive outcomes during organizational change. I propose that employees who are dissatisfied with change implementation processes will engage in change-related voice behavior and this relationship will be strengthened by their initial change-commitment, change efficacy, voice climate, and team leader’ empowering leadership. Employees’ increased voice behaviors will positively lead to their subsequent change-commitment, creative process engagement and performance.
