项目摘要

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.

我的成就包括：首先，我在中国的跨国公司完成了一项实证研究，研究了当地员工英语能力对他们对爆炸的声音行为的影响。本文是为期刊提交准备的。第二，通过使用在日本和英国进行的基于场景的实验，我调查了个人的语音策略，包括情感和理性方面，如何影响主管对语音的评估。此外，我调查了这种行为的性别差异，这既导致语音研究和更广泛的性别多样性领域。这项研究已在国际学术会议上提出，目前正在为期刊提交准备。三分之二，我研究了语音气候在与亚太地区各个国家 /地区的工作参与者有关的性别差异中的作用。这项研究已在国际会议上提交和接受。本文提供了一个理论框架，可以增强我们对语言障碍如何影响员工从事主动行为的意愿和能力的理解。我打算在研究的第三年提交本文出版。
