Key points
- Felt obligation was the strongest predictor of promotive voice (β = .44).
- Psychological safety was the strongest predictor of prohibitive voice (β = .41).
- Organization-based self-esteem was reciprocally related to promotive voice (β = .26).
- Interactions between antecedents moderated voice behavior, with felt obligation strengthening the safety-voice link and self-esteem weakening it for promotive voice.

Abstract
The present study demonstrates how three psychological antecedents (psychological safety, felt obligation for constructive change, and organization-based self-esteem) uniquely, differentially, and interactively predict supervisory reports of promotive and prohibitive “voice” behavior. Using a two-wave panel design, we collected data from a sample of 239 employees to examine the hypothesized relationships. Our results showed that felt obligation was most strongly related to subsequent promotive voice; psychological safety was most strongly related to subsequent prohibitive voice; and organization-based self-esteem was reciprocally related to promotive voice. Further, although felt obligation strengthened the positive effect of psychological safety on both forms of voice, organization-based self-esteem weakened this effect for promotive voice. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
