- Voice is a discretionary decision to speak up in the workplace, with the intention to make things better. Typically, antecedents of voice are studied by examining manager-employee relationships; however, most voice occurs in groups. In this talk, I'll examine the effect of peer social interactions on lateral voice in groups. In particular, I'll discuss two known mechanisms through which peers can affect one another's decisions to voice or remain silent. I will focus specifically on how the group's contextual factors, namely, civility, could differentially affect men and women. Across studies, data from participants in online chats show that their self-reported willingness to voice changes depending on the civility of the group and on broad status characteristics such as gender.
