Summary
Supervisor social undermining reduces employee promotive voice. This effect is amplified when employees perceive high procedural justice, impacting organizational innovation and efficiency.
Area of Science:
- Organizational Behavior
- Psychology
- Human Resource Management
Background:
- Organizations rely on employee suggestions for process enhancement, efficiency, and innovation.
- Supervisor social undermining may deter employees from voicing ideas, particularly promotive voice.
- The moderating role of procedural justice in this relationship is not well understood.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the association between supervisor social undermining and employee promotive voice.
- To examine the moderating effect of employee perceptions of procedural justice on this relationship.
- To apply the Conservation of Resources theory to understand employee voice behaviors.
Main Methods:
- Data collected from 115 highly skilled employees.
- Hierarchical regression analysis used to test hypotheses.
- Focus on supervisor social undermining, employee promotive voice, and procedural justice perceptions.
Main Results:
- Supervisor social undermining significantly decreases employee promotive voice.
- The negative relationship between social undermining and promotive voice is stronger with higher perceived procedural justice.
- This study is the first to examine supervisor social undermining, promotive voice, and procedural justice moderation.
Conclusions:
- Supervisor social undermining is a significant barrier to employee promotive voice.
- Perceived procedural justice intensifies the negative impact of social undermining on voice.
- Findings offer theoretical and practical insights for fostering employee innovation and voice in organizations.

When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype.

When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...
