Abstract
Established literature has demonstrated that individuals’ self-monitoring behaviors have a relationship with their willingness to speak up (Premeaux & Bedeain, 2003). However, limited research has focused on potential moderators and mediators of this relationship. With an increasingly globalized workforce, I-O psychologists have begun to focus on understanding the influence of societal culture on work-related behaviors. While researchers have investigated the influence of power distance orientation (PDO) on many different work-related behaviors, there exists a gap in the research regarding how PDO influences work-related behaviors such as the relationship between self-monitoring and willingness to speak up to leaders in the workplace. Additionally, limited research exists on the intersection between supervisor/subordinate gender identity mismatch and PDO on work-related behaviors. The purpose of this study is to investigate these relationships and contribute to the existing literature on the influence of PDO, subordinate/supervisor gender dissimilarity, self-monitoring behaviors, willingness to speak up.
