It aims to investigate how commitment and specific personality dimensions, such as conscientiousness and openness, can predict employees’ inclination to express their perspectives, opinions, and suggestions for organizational improvement. This research applies a comprehensive methodology, using surveys from a diverse group of employees, to investigate how these factors influence the propensity to engage in voice behavior. The analysis, which is based on multiple regression, reveals that affective commitment, conscientiousness, and openness are significant predictors of such behavior. These findings show that fostering a work environment that promotes these qualities can greatly enhance organizational practices and innovation. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of these elements in facilitating a more proactive and engaged workforce, highlighting the practical implications for managers and organi0 zations in encouraging voice behavior. Finally, the study provides a compelling argument for organizations to focus on enhancing these attributes among their employees to promote a more dynamic workplace.}, number={98}, publisher={Istanbul University}
