Abstract
This study uses implicit voice theory to examine the influence of employees' critical thinking and leaders' inspirational motivation on employees' voice behavior via voice efficacy. The results of a pretest of 302 employees using critical thinking questionnaires and a field study of 273 dyads of supervisors and their subordinates revealed that both employees' critical thinking and leaders' inspirational motivation had a positive effect on employees' voice and that voice efficacy mediates the relationships among employees' critical thinking, leaders' inspirational motivation, and employees' voice. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
