Experienced employees are a crucial asset and intelligent resource for organizations. In this study, we examined the effect of employee work experience on employee voice behavior. We also proposed employee locomotion as a factor that would affect voice behavior jointly with their work experience and we further proposed that work experience would interact with locomotion to influence voice behavior. Data from subordinates (n = 170) and their immediate supervisors (n = 46) were collected from employees working for companies in East China. Results of hierarchical linear modeling revealed that (a) high locomotion was positively related to promotive voice but not to prohibitive voice; and (b) high locomotion strengthened the association between both work experience and prohibitive voice and work experience and promotive voice. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
