Abstract  Employee voice is a kind of behavior that employees informally and voluntarily reflect the problems in their work to their superiors, or express their opinions and suggestions in order to improve the efficiency of organization operation and promote organizational change. However, at present, there exists a paradox between leaders’ expectation of employee’s voice and employees’ unwillingness to give it in organizational practice. Leader-follower value congruence in power distance and leader-follower gender combination maybe provide a new perspective to explain the paradox. Drawing on bootstrapping and polynomial regression analysis, a three-phase survey data were collected from 182 employees of Chinese traditional manufacturing industry to test the effect of leader-follower value congruence in power distance on employee voice. The research results show that the more congruent between leaders and subordinates in power distance, the stronger in perceived insider status of subordinates. And perceived insider status mediates the relationship between leader-follower value congruence in power distance and voice. The effect of leader-follower value congruence in power distance on voice is stronger when the same gender between leader and follower, and the effect of leader-follower value congruence in power distance on perceived insider status is stronger when the different gender between leader and follower. The research reveals the different influence paths of value congruence on employee voice in the context of different gender combination between leader and subordinate in traditional Chinese manufacturing enterprises.
