abstract: Constructive voice, the sharing of ideas or concerns that improve organizational functioning, is an important workplace behavior. Recent narrative reviews of constructive voice have highlighted the importance of accounting for different types of voice. Initial efforts to explain the type of constructive voice have focused on voice function, and distinguished constructive voice as promotive or prohibitive in nature. Yet, research findings regarding relationships between promotive and prohibitive voice and antecedents of constructive voice reveal inconsistencies that suggest that our theoretical understanding is incomplete. In this dissertation, I argue that in addition to distinguishing constructive voice as to its function (i.e., promotive voice and prohibitive voice), it is also important to distinguish constructive voice as to its scope (i.e., the number of different issues expressed by employees). By accounting for the function and scope of voice, I develop four specific types of constructive voice (i.e., championing, initiating, alarming, and patrolling) and conduct two studies wherein I establish construct validity and test differences in antecedent and outcome relationships with the specific types of voice. I first focus on scale development: generating items and assessing content validity. In Study 1, I test the factor structure of championing, initiating, alarming, and patrolling, and the nomological network of the measures. My second study is a field study of 251 employees in an insurance company and manufacturing facility. In Study 2 I test the criterion-related validity of the measures and explore the implications of voice scope. The research reported in my dissertation contributes to our understanding of constructive voice, and following from this, facilitates further theoretical and practical advances as to when employees who voice may be heard and when they may be tuned out. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Business Administration 2018

Hence, it executes a dogmatic analysis of the correspondent prohibitive norm, intending to identify the main barriers of the objective imputation of the result as well as to find an adequate path to the purposes of the juridical-penal System. It builds an analysis of the object by applying the derived method of the joint legal-criminal sciences Model. Firstly, it identifies the new significance of the shot in the post-industrial social interactions, defining a criminological base from which the public safety acquires content and function. Secondly, it bases the criminalisation of the shot by the criminal-political evaluation of the public safety as a value worthy of penal protection and by the offensiveness of the shot in a public area as an offensive result for the protected legal good. Lastly, it highlights the theoretical bases, which have been obtained by criminological and criminal-political analyses, in the dogmatic interpretation of the legal prohibition. This reveals the definition of the criminal illicit elements not only concretely, but also systematically adequate. It concludes by reinforcing the comprehension of the misdeed of the shot as a part of the crimes against public safety as being the best path for the penal intervention legitimacy / Mestre

Abstract  Linnaeus University – Campus Kalmar School of Business and Economics Leadership and Management in International Contexts (60 credits)  Title: Transformational Leadership in the Chinese Culture – A Quantitative Study on the Impact of Transformational Leadership on Chinese Internet Companies’ Performance.  This research aims to study how transformational leadership affects organizational performance and the mediation effect of employee voice behaviour. A quantitative research method and a deductive research approach were used for this research study, where theoretical concepts were developed. Several hypotheses were derived as means to test the existing theories regarding research variables. The data in this research was collected through a 384 completed online survey questionnaire from employees of the top ten listed Chinese internet companies. Various statistical techniques, including Pearson correlation analysis, linear regression analysis, and mediation effect testing, were implemented to provide evidence for hypothesis testing. The statistical analysis results indicate that a particular dimension of transformational leadership positively impacts Chinese internet companies’ performance, and employee voice behaviour has a partial mediation effect in this relationship.
