Hypothesis
Does high mission valence among university faculty lead to increased voice behavior?
Conclusion
Mission valence positively impacts faculty’s voice behavior, mediated by thriving at work and moderated by servant leadership.
Supporting Evidence
- Mission valence significantly enhances faculty's voice behavior.
- Thriving at work mediates the relationship between mission valence and voice behavior.
- Servant leadership moderates the effect of thriving at work on voice behavior.
Takeaway
When teachers feel connected to their school's mission, they are more likely to speak up and share their ideas, especially if they have supportive leaders.
Methodology
The study used a moderated mediation model based on data collected from university faculty in China.
Potential Biases
Self-report data may introduce common method bias.
Limitations
The study used cross-sectional data, which may not fully capture causal relationships.
