員工的建言行為不僅能幫助組織發現內部潛藏的問題,更提供了多樣化、具創意的觀點,有助於組織因應日愈複雜的競爭環境。相較於建言行為受到西方組織管理學者與實務者的重視,台灣有關員工建言行為研究相對還在起步階段,為數不多的建言行為研究亦多複製西方研究或追隨西方觀點。因此,本文針對西方與台灣建言行為研究進行文獻回顧與整理,首先,釐清建言行為的概念內涵、特性及測量;其次,從多層次的角度,整理西方研究中有關建言行為之前因與結果、中介與調節機制;第三,檢視台灣建言行為研究的現況。在前述的基礎上,進一步提出建言行為研究的未來方向、並提供本位取向之華人建言行為研究的切入點,期盼有助於台灣對建言行為研究的深化與理論建構。
Employee voice behavior (EVB) can help organization detecting hidden problems and offer organization various and creative viewpoints to face the environment with growing competitions. Compared to being highly valued with fruitful research findings by Western organizational behavior researchers and practitioners, the studies on EVB are relatively scarce in Taiwan and most of them just replicated researches or followed perspectives from Western studies. Therefore, this article aims to conduct literature review of EVB studies for both in Western and Taiwan to, firstly, clarify the concept, characteristics, and measurement of EVB; secondly, analyze the EVB-related antecedent and consequent factors, mediation and moderation mechanisms, from Western studies; thirdly, examine current status of EVB studies in Taiwan. Then, based on the results stated above, the future research directions on EVB are further discussed with emic approach on Chinese voice behavior to facilitate deepening development of EVB studies and theory building in Taiwan.
