Resumen: En este artículo se estudia la relación entre la voz de los trabajadores individuales (en defensa de sus propios intereses) y su voz promotora (en favor de los intereses de su organización empleadora). Se comprueba la validez de las hipótesis aplicando modelos de ecuaciones estructurales a un conjunto de datos único sobre la conducta de la voz de los trabajadores en los Países Bajos (N = 3 159). Se constata que la respuesta de los supervisores a la voz de los trabajadores tiene un efecto indirecto en la voz promotora, de modo que las experiencias de defensa de los propios intereses de los trabajadores repercuten en su contribución al funcionamiento organizacional.

We study atypical workers' experiences with voice of in the Netherlands. We take a relational approach to worker voice and hypothesize that atypical workers are particularly vulnerable to refrain from voice and to experience suppression. We test our hypotheses using unique data on workers' actual experiences with voicing discontent and supervisors' responses (N  = 4708; collected in 2017 and 2018). We find that temporary and freelance work, job insecurity, replaceability and precarious values are barriers to worker voice. Job insecurity and precarious values are associated with less support and more suppression from supervisors. These insights offer a valuable contribution to scholarly and public debates on atypical work by demonstrating how it not only affects workers' job security, income stability and entitlements but also reduces workers' ability to speak up and solve problems at work.

This article aims to establish the connection between people's voice at work and their political voice. We theorize and model a spillover mechanism from supervisors' responses to workplace voice to political participation. Applying structural equation modeling on a unique dataset (N = 3129), we find that while support and suppression of workplace voice both affect political participation, they do so through different mechanisms. In addition, we find that supervisors' suppressive responses to employees' voice can trigger both positive and negative effects on different forms of political participation. Thereby, we contribute to the understanding of the link between participation at work and participation in politics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Substantial scholarly attention has been devoted to explaining why voters support populist parties. Recently, a new concept has been introduced to gauge populism among voters and to explain voting for populist parties: populist attitudes. However, some researchers regard populist attitudes as simply another measurement of existing and established concepts such as political trust and external political efficacy. Using data from the Netherlands (2018), this article addresses the relationship between these concepts, both theoretically and empirically. This article examines whether political trust, external political efficacy, and populist attitudes tap into different latent dimensions. Using a confirmatory factor analysis, we show that populist attitudes are not old wine in new bottles and that they tap into different underlying attitudes than political trust and external political efficacy. Furthermore, we show that the three measures are not only different constructs but also relate differently to populist voting preferences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
