The influence of language diversity on employee voice in the multinational workplace in Asia

研究成果包括：第一，我在中国的跨国公司完成了一项实证研究，考察了当地员工的英语水平对他们对外籍员工的声音行为的影响。其次，通过在日本和英国进行的实验，考察了个体的声音策略（包括情感和理性）如何影响上司对声音的评价。此外，我调查了这种行为的性别差异，为语音研究和更广泛的性别多样性领域做出了贡献。本研究已在国际学术会议上发表，目前正在准备投稿。第三，在亚太地区各国，探讨了声音氛围在与工作态度相关的性别差异中的作用。本研究已在一个国际会议上提交并被接受。第四，我修改了一个概念性的论文，重点是语言障碍和跨国团队中的主动行为之间的关系。本文提供了一个理论框架，加强了我们对语言障碍如何影响员工的意愿和能力，从事积极主动的行为的理解。我打算在我研究的第三年提交这篇论文发表。

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.
