- Arguments for overcoming barriers to employee voice in healthcare settings are underdeveloped.
Purpose of the Study:
- To advance understanding of employee interests and their outcomes in healthcare.

- Analysis of facilitators, barriers, and outcomes of employee voice at multiple levels (organizational, leadership, team, individual).
Main Results:
- Identified facilitators, barriers, and outcomes of employee interest voice within healthcare.
- Highlighted theoretical, methodological, and knowledge gaps in current research.
- Proposed strategies for addressing identified research gaps in future studies.
Conclusions:
- Emphasized the importance of integrating disciplinary approaches for a comprehensive model of healthcare voice.
