Abstract

This study investigated the impact of empathetic leadership on employees' promotive and prohibitive voice, based on the leader motivational language theory. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 274 samples from 18 social enterprises in China. The findings showed that empathetic leadership positively impacted employees' promotive voice, with organization-based self-esteem mediating the positive relationship between empathetic leadership and promotive voice. Trust in leader positively moderated the impact of organization-based self-esteem on employees' promotive voice. Contrary to expectations, empathetic leadership had no significant impact on prohibitive voice. Finally, practical recommendations were provided for social enterprise leaders to promote employees' voice, and the research limitations were discussed.
