点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

My achievements include:First, I completed an empirical study in multinational companies in China, examining the influence of local employees’ English proficiency on their voice behavior towards expatriates. This paper was prepared for journal submission.Second, by using a scenario-based experiment conducted in Japan and the United Kingdom, I investigated how individuals' voice tactics, including emotional and rational aspects, affect supervisors’ evaluations of voice. Additionally, I investigated gender differences in this behavior, contributing to both voice research and the broader field of gender diversity. This study has been presented at an international academic conference and is currently being prepared for journal submission.Third, I examined the role of voice climate in gender differences related to job attitudes across various countries in the Asia-Pacific region. This study has been submitted and accepted for presentation at an international conference.Forth, I revised a conceptual paper that focuses on the relationship between language barriers and proactive behavior within multinational teams. This paper provides a theoretical framework that enhances our understanding of how language barriers impact employees’ willingness and ability to engage in proactive behaviors. I intend to submit this paper for publication in the third year of my research.
