Abstract The mainstream of previous voice researches has focused primarily on the OB discipline, taking an overly individualistic perspective on employee voice with little concern for the role of system factors, although criticizing the ignorance of employees’ discretion in the HRM voice researches. Drawing on the integrative research view across alternative disciplines and levels, this paper analyzes the impact of high performance work system (HPWS), value fitness and leader/member exchange (LMX) on employees’ voice, from the perspectives of motivation, opportunity and risk. Results of Hierarchical Linear Modeling on sample data from 32 manufacturing firms and 1083 employees show that: (1) HPWS has significantly positive impact on the employee voice; (2) value fitness has a significantly positive effect on the employee voice, and mediates the relationship between HPWS and the employee voice; (3) LMX moderates the relationship between value fitness and employee voice.
