Summary:

"This Concise Encyclopedia provides an authoritative overview of how employees and workers express views, raise concerns and influence decisions at work. It integrates perspectives from industrial relations, human resource management, economics and political science to map theory and practice across diverse contexts. Entries examine both individual and collective voice mechanisms, including established forms such as trade unions, grievance procedures and whistleblowing, while also addressing contemporary and emerging developments including AI-calibrated voice and social media. Highlighting inclusive and ethical approaches across varied organisational and institutional contexts, the Concise Encyclopedia identifies that voice serves not only as a mechanism for organisational improvement, but also as a vital component of healthy and engaging work environments. The Elgar Concise Encyclopedia of Employee Voice is an essential resource for scholars and students of business and management, organisation studies and employment relations. Human resource management practitioners and labour regulation policymakers will similarly benefit from its actionable recommendations. Key Features: - Fulfils the growing need to formulate more inclusive and conceptually coherent understandings of employee voice - Investigates workplace silence as a reflection of fear, strategic withholding and perceived risks associated with speaking up - Entries from 60 leading experts from around the globe, showcasing interdisciplinary approaches across a wide geographic range"-- Provided by publisher.
