This study aims to examine the effect of transformational leadership on employee voice behavior. Specifically, this study investigates the mediating role of positive affect in linking transformational leadership with voice and the moderating role of over-qualification in influencing the mediation of positive affect. In particular, a two-wave survey was conducted. A sample of 271 participants complete a questionnaire measuring transformational leadership, positive affect and various demographic variables in the first wave. Then, they complete a second questionnaire measuring perceived over-qualification and voice behavior 2 weeks later. We conduct a series of multiple regression analyses to test the model. The results show that positive affect partially mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and employee voice behavior. Over-qualification moderated the relationship between positive affect and voice. In addition, moderated mediation analyses reveal that positive affect mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and voice only for highly over-qualified employees. This study investigates a new method linking transformational leadership and voice from an affective perspective by finding the mediating effect of positive affect. We also verify the role of “energized to” process in shaping proactive behaviors. Finally, this study examines the boundary conditions of the effect of positive affect on voice.

变革型领导和员工声音：情感视角

本研究旨在检验变革型领导对员工建言行为的影响。具体而言，本研究调查了积极情感在将变革型领导与声音联系起来的中介作用，以及过度资格在影响积极情感的中介中的调节作用。特别是进行了两波调查。由 271 名参与者组成的样本完成了一份问卷，测量第一波中的变革型领导、积极影响和各种人口统计变量。然后，他们在两周后完成第二份问卷，测量感知到的过度资格和说话行为。我们进行了一系列多元回归分析来测试模型。结果表明，积极影响部分地调节了变革型领导与员工建言行为之间的关系。过度的资格缓和了积极情绪和声音之间的关系。此外，有调节的中介分析表明，只有对于高素质的员工，积极情绪才能调解变革型领导和声音之间的关系。本研究通过寻找积极情感的中介作用，从情感的角度研究了一种将变革型领导和声音联系起来的新方法。我们还验证了“激励”过程在塑造主动行为中的作用。最后，本研究检验了积极影响对声音的影响的边界条件。有调节的中介分析表明，只有对于高素质员工，积极情感才能调解变革型领导和声音之间的关系。本研究通过寻找积极情感的中介作用，从情感的角度研究了一种将变革型领导和声音联系起来的新方法。我们还验证了“激励”过程在塑造主动行为中的作用。最后，本研究检验了积极影响对声音的影响的边界条件。有调节的中介分析表明，只有对于高素质员工，积极情感才能调解变革型领导和声音之间的关系。本研究通过寻找积极情感的中介作用，从情感的角度研究了一种将变革型领导和声音联系起来的新方法。我们还验证了“激励”过程在塑造主动行为中的作用。最后，本研究检验了积极影响对声音的影响的边界条件。
