“…Yet, more and more studies have shown that nurses exhibit low voice behavior [3], and Kee et al's study analyzed possible reasons for this, including considering voice behavior as 'risky', being disrespected and ignored, and unexpected outcomes [4]. Furthermore, some low voice behaviors also cause risks of con icts with leaders, the deterioration of interpersonal relationships, and career development obstacles [5]. Therefore, it is important to explore the direct and indirect factors affecting voice behavior in clinical nurses.…”

Introduction: The voice behavior of clinical nurses significantly influences the development of the healthcare industry. Understanding the factors influencing clinical nurses' voice behavior can help enhance the effectiveness of leadership styles across different cultures, promote a positive organizational climate, and increase employees' sense of job embeddedness, thereby encouraging more voice behavior. Therefore, this study examines the relationships between authoritative leadership, organizational climate, job embeddedness, and voice behavior. Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the chain mediating effects of organizational climate and job embeddedness on the relationship between authoritativeleadership and clinical nurses’ voice behavior in China. Methods: A cross-sectional survey study. We employed a convenient sampling method to recruit 809 clinical nurses from 5 comprehensive hospitals in Henan Province, China from October to November 2023.The scale questionnaires were used to assess, SPSS 25.0 was used for data analysis, and AMOS 26.0 software was used to examine the relationship between variables. Results: The results showed that authoritative leadership and voice behavior were significantly negatively correlated (r = - 0.18, P＜0.01), and organizational climateand job embeddedness were positively correlated with voice behavior (r = 0.27, P＜0.01; r = 0.40, P＜0.01). Organizational climate and job embeddedness played a chain mediating role in the relationship between authoritative leadership and voice behavior of clinical nurses, accounting for 31.41% of the total effect. Conclusions: Authoritative leadership has a negative impact on the clinical nurses’ voice behavior. More voice behavior may be taken by choosing appropriate leadership styles, such as recognizing potential drawbacks of authoritative leadership. Meanwhile, organizational climate and job embeddedness acted as a chain mediator between authoritative leadership and clinical nurses’ voice behavior. Nursing managers should focus on developing a positive organizational climate, enhancing employees' sense of job embeddedness, and promoting positive voice behavior among clinical nurses.

Objective: This research provides an integrative and comprehensive review of 158 articles on employee voice behavior over 53 years (1970–2023) using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) research method. The aim is to provide information about the concepts, factors, and outcomes influencing Employee Voice Behavior in companies and identify research gaps for future studies. Design/Method/Approach: This research uses the Systematic Literature Review method, which involves software such as VOSViewer, Publish or Perish, and Mendeley. These tools facilitate the systematic analysis of selected articles. Findings: Research findings show a significant increase in using Employee Voice Behavior topics in research publications. In general, employee voice behavior is influenced by five main elements: individual characteristics, attitudes and perceptions towards work and the organization, feelings and beliefs, behavior of superiors and leaders, and contextual factors. These elements provide room for further investigation by future researchers. Originality/Value: This research makes a significant contribution to the literature by offering a comprehensive analysis of decades of Employee Voice Behavior research. By identifying key influencing factors and trends, this research enriches our understanding of this pivotal aspect of organizational behavior, thereby enhancing the body of knowledge in this field. Practical/Policy Implications: The insights gleaned from this research carry significant practical implications for organizations and policymakers. Understanding the factors that shape employee voice behavior can be a powerful tool in the arsenal of HR practices, leadership development, and organizational policies. These insights can be harnessed to foster employee participation and engagement, thereby enhancing organizational effectiveness.
