Influence of Ethical Leadership on Prohibitive Voice and Mediating Mechanism.

Prohibitive voice is helpful for enterprises to correct failure and enhance adaptability so as to obtain competitive advantage. The leader as the voice target often makes a difference to the voice behavior. Ethical leadership can improve the psychological security and organizational identification of subordinates, and thus motivate prohibitive voice. The study applied two types of statistical analysis approaches: multiple hierarchical regression analysis and structural equation model, and made two sessions of investigation to 341 employees. The analytical results show that the psychological security and organizational identification completely play a medium role in the relationship between ethical leadership and prohibitive voice.
