Challenging the assumptions about voice from Western economies and Anglo-American research, this volume contains seven articles on employee voice in Argentina, China, India, Korea (with comparison to the US), Belarus, South Africa, and Namibia. Business and management researchers from these and other countries consider the nature of employee voice in emerging economies where silence may be the cultural norm, similarities and differences in employee voice mechanisms, and whether voice in these contexts can be taken by workers or whether it is provided by management or the state.
