Discussion
There were two aims in this study. The first aim is to develop and examine a theoretical model linking promotive and prohibitive voice to job satisfaction through the psychological mechanism of self-efficacy. The second aim is to test the moderating role of transformational leadership on the relationship between voice (i.e., promotive and prohibitive) and self-efficacy. Consistent with the hypotheses, both promotive and prohibitive voice are found to be positively related to employee job satisfaction. Moreover, these relationships are mediated by self-efficacy. Our results also show that transformational leadership moderates the effect of prohibitive voice on selfefficacy. However, in the relationship between promotive voice and self-efficacy, the moderating effect is not significant. The theoretical and practical implications of our findings are discussed below, along with limitations.
