Abstract:

Purpose- The purpose of this research is to examine the employee voice and the leader-member exchange and their effects on innovative work behavior to provide an in-depth understanding of innovative work behavior in organizations. Methodology- 579 articles were reached by scanning the words "Innovative Work Behavior", "Employee Voice" and "Lead Member Exchange" in the articles published between 2010 and 2021 in the Web of Science database, and bibliometric analysis was performed on these articles. VOSviewer program was used for bibliometric analysis and interpreted after visualization. Findings- Each variable has been addressed by the researchers in its own literature, but the relationship between these variables has not been adequately addressed. Conclusion- Without the voice of the employee, it is not possible to talk about innovative business behavior, nor can we talk about leader member change. Today, businesses connect with their environment with an open system. For this reason, environments where innovative business behavior can develop depend on the participation of employee voice and necessary leadership practices. This research draws attention to the role of leader member interaction in the relationship between employee voice and innovative work behavior, identifies and reports that variables need to be tested.
