This study aims to investigate the positive voice behaviors in relation to the work engagement levels of academicians. The study utilized data obtained from 452 academicians working at public and private universities in Turkey. The study highlights that academicians with higher levels of work engagement are more inclined to exhibit positive voice behavior. It was determined that when academicians are more emotionally, cognitively, and physically engaged with their work, they show a greater tendency to share ideas and suggestions related to their jobs. Based on these findings, the study emphasizes the need for institutions to develop strategies that enhance the work engagement levels of academicians and encourage positive voice behaviors.

Bu çalışmada, akademisyenlerin işleriyle bütünleşme durumlarına göre pozitif ses çıkarma davranışlarının araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada, Türkiye’deki devlet ve vakıf üniversitelerinde görev yapan 452 akademisyenden toplanan veriler kullanılmıştır. Araştırma bulguları, işiyle bütünleşmiş akademisyenlerin pozitif ses çıkarma davranışı sergileme eğiliminde olduklarını göstermektedir. Akademisyenlerin işlerine duygusal, bilişsel ve fiziksel olarak daha fazla bağlı olduklarında, işleriyle ilgili fikir ve önerilerini paylaşma eğilimlerinin arttığı belirlenmiştir. Bu bulgular dikkate alınarak çalışmada, kurumların, akademisyenlerin işle bütünleşme düzeylerini artıracak stratejiler geliştirmeleri ve pozitif ses çıkarma davranışlarını teşvik etmeleri gerektiğine vurgu yapılmıştır.
