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

我的成果包括：首先，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建言的影响。这篇论文是为期刊投稿而准备的。其次，通过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价。此外，我还研究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。这项研究已在一次国际学术会议上发表，目前正准备提交期刊。第三，我研究了亚太地区不同国家的声音气候在与工作态度相关的性别差异中的作用。这项研究已提交并接受在一个国际会议上发表。第四，我修改了一篇概念性论文，重点关注跨国团队中语言障碍和主动行为之间的关系。本文提供了一个理论框架，增强了我们对语言障碍如何影响员工参与主动行为的意愿和能力的理解。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.
