Abstract

Recently, more and more scholars focus on voice behavior, and many of them suggest that voice behavior plays an important role in existence and development of organizations. To learn more about the voice behavior in the background of China, we collected the related information by interview, and we analyzed the data with the help of Consensual Qualitative Research and divided motivations of voice behavior into eight types: altruism motivation, duality motivation, personality motivation, self-promotion motivation, interpersonal motivation, self-protection motivation, benefit-oriented motivation, and impression management motivation, which are analyzed separately. Finally, we discuss the achievement and offer some potentially valuable suggestions for future researches.
