Abstract
This study investigates why and when coworker knowledge sharing encourages employee voice behavior by exploring psychological safety as a mediator and promotion focus as a moderator. We tested the hypotheses using 68 dyads (study 1) and 289 dyads (study 2) collected from South Korea. In both studies, we found the positive indirect relationship between coworker knowledge sharing and voice behavior through psychological safety. Moreover, in Study 2, we examined how promotion focus moderates the positive effects of coworker knowledge sharing on voice behavior via psychological safety. The implications and directions for future research are discussed.

Notes
1 We conducted additional regression analyses controlling focal employees’ self-efficacy and organizational tenure. The results of these analyses were consistent with the results we report here.
2 We performed confirmatory factor analysis using a three-factor model and found that it was significantly superior to other models (χ2(101) = 145.612, CFI = 0.96, TLI = 0.94, RMSEA = 0.08).

4 We performed confirmatory factor analysis using a four-factor model. The values on the fit indices showed that the four-factor model provided a good fit for the data (χ2 = 711.611, CFI = .92, TLI = .90, and RMSEA = .076).
