| Abstract | ||
| Purpose: This research investigates the relationship between paradoxical leadership (PL) and employee voice behaviour, with thriving at work as a mediator. Methodology: Data was collected from a sample of 377 employees working in information technology and communication (ICT) companies in the Smart Village, Egypt. The study used partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the hypotheses. Findings: The results revealed that paradoxical leadership positively relates to employees' promotive and prohibitive voice behaviors. Furthermore, employees' thriving at work partially mediates the relationship between paradoxical leadership and employees' promotive and prohibitive voice behaviors. Practical implications: The findings suggested that paradoxical leadership effectively manages employees. Managers' ability to lead paradoxically is the foundation for enhancing employees' thriving at work and voice behavior. Thus, managers should aim to balance organizational goals with employee needs to ensure that employees feel appreciated and motivated to perform better and actively contribute ideas for the company's development. | ||
