Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the role of employee voice in transforming organizational performance by fostering open communication, employee participation, and constructive feedback within organizations.

Leadership style, communication channels, and a supportive feedback culture were found to play critical roles in encouraging employee participation. The mediating variable also demonstrated a significant effect on the relationship between the studied variables and organizational performance.

Implications: Organizations should promote open dialogue, effective communication systems, and participative leadership practices to strengthen employee engagement and performance outcomes.
