Title: Organizational Voice Practices, Employee Ownership-related Attitudes, and Employee Perceptions
Abstract: We examine human resource practices associated with eliciting and enhancing employee voice in strategic and establishment-level decisions, and assess the extent to which such practices enhance employee ownership-related attitudes towards the corporation. We examine two key establishment-level practices associated with voice: 1) The provision of key information to enable productive employee input, and 2) The incorporation of employee input into decision making by managers. Further, we examine the role of employee perceptions of these establishment-level practices on the above mentioned effects. Drawing on a sample of 19,380 employees from 1,400 organizations, we find that granting employees access to key information is positively related to employee perceptions of information access, and to employee ownership-related attitudes. Employee perceptions of information access partially mediate the relationship between organizational information sharing practices, and employee ownership-related attitudes. We likewise find that allowing employee involvement in decision-making is positively related to employee ownership-related attitudes. This relationship is partially mediated by employee perceptions of involvement in decision-making.
