In this line of research, we look at how critical issues are addressed and how problems are constructively solved in organisations (Voice). We are interested in when, how and under what conditions employees raise important issues with colleagues and superiors and when they tend to keep them quiet (silence). Current research from our group shows that raising critical issues requires a participative leadership style (e.g. signalled by collectivist language) and can have positive effects for employees (e.g. higher job engagement).
