Abstract

Existing studies have yielded inconsistent findings regarding whether employees’ perceptions of organizational politics (POP) inhibit or promote their voice behaviors. These controversies highlight the premature nature of reaching a definitive conclusion regarding the influence of POP on voice. Adopting an expansive view of voice behavior, this study considers the foci of voice and, through the lens of the conservation of resources, proposes that POP has distinct indirect effects on two types of voice behaviors (organization-targeted voice and self-targeted voice) via ego depletion. Moreover, perceived managerial openness serves as a moderator in these indirect effects, specifically moderating the relationship between ego depletion and voice behaviors. The hypotheses are supported by a three-wave time-lagged survey involving 247 employees. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
