Explaining Employee Voice Behavior Through Intragroup Relationship Quality and the Role of Thriving at Work

In this study, we propose an underlying mechanism that provides a link between high-quality relationships as a group-level concept and employee voice as individual behavior. After an extent literature scanning, we employed the concept of thriving since it comprehends both hedonic and eudemonic well-being as well as his roots in social dynamics. To test this mediation link, we conducted an online survey with 462 participants and used structural equation modeling with the bootstrapping method to reveal whether thriving at work mediates the relationship. The results show that the data fit the model well, and the significant indirect effect exists, which confirms the full mediator role of thriving at work. This study has value as it shows what extent social environment impacts individual states and behaviors
