| Outline of Research at the Start |
Using a systematic literature review and two empirical studies, the current research aims to explore whether, how, and when language diversity influences employee voice within the multinational workplace in Asia. This research contributes to a reconstruction of voice literature through the incorporation of the language diversity perspective and deepens the understanding of employee voice in the Asian context.
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research examines employee voice in the Asian context, with a focus on language and gender diversity. In the first year, I reviewed the literature and developed a conceptual paper on how language diversity affects employee voice. In the second year, I conducted an empirical study in China to assess how local employees' English proficiency affects their voice towards expatriates, and a scenario-based experiment in Japan and the UK focusing on gender differences in voice tactics. In the third year, I completed two papers: one on English proficiency and expatriation intentions, and another on gender differences in voice climate across the Asia-Pacific region.
Over the three years, I presented these findings at top international conferences, including three papers accepted at the Academy of Management Annual Conference. One paper is under peer review and additional studies are being prepared for submission.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
既存の研究では、異なる背景の従業員の発言行動がどのように現れ、それがどのような意味を持つのかが軽視されがちである。本研究は言語とジェンダーの多様性に焦点を当て、これらの多様性がアジアの文脈における従業員の発言行動にどのような影響を与えるかについてより深い理解を提供している。社会的意義においては、多様な職場で従業員の発言行動を理解し促進することは、組織の発展と競争力にとって極めて重要である。本研究は、外国人従業員や女性などのマイノリティ・グループの発言行動に関する重要な洞察を提供し、組織がより包括的な環境を促進するのに役立っている。
