Our approach includes a literature review of the organization and managerial context influencing employee communication behaviors with a particular focus on the retail sector.

The main findings indicate that particular cultural conditions, such as freedom of speech and democracy, and relationships with managers, are major factors influencing internal voice behavior. Furthermore, since employees do not perform positive brand ambassador behaviors if their only commitment is continuance commitment, affective commitment is highly strategic. The study revealed that at the adoption of conceptual models that address a company's needs is an effective practice that a must be customized to the specific context and in order to sustain positive voice behavior among employee, managers should leverage an entire set of contextual conditions.
