EMPLOYEE VOICE: A MULTIDIMENSIONAL SCALE CONSTRUCTION AND VALIDATION

Abstract

In this study, a multidimensional scale for measuring the overall constructs of modern employee voice was developed. Items reflecting the logical and semantic content of the concept of employee voice were generated from the literature. The data analysis procedures include Exploratory Factor Analysis, Confirmatory Factor Analysis and different model fit indices were tested. The results provide support for a three-factor multidimensional scale, including employee provision of information, platform, and manager’s response. The overall scale consists of 10 items: 4 items on employee provision of information and 3 items each loading on the platform and the manager’s response.
