Employee engagement is a pivotal element that affects organizational effectiveness. There is no doubt among academicians and practitioners alike the importance of having employees who are willing to go beyond their job descriptions. However, not every organization is lucky enough to have the type of employees that are engaged, which lead to continuous discussions in trying to determine why some organization have it and some don’t. The employees whose voice is listened and taken into action by the management would feel appreciated and valued to the extend their participation in the organizations, beyond their job descriptions. Hence, this study postulates that the possible effect of employee voice may have on employee engagement. This paper aim to contribute to this area of knowledge by expanding insight on employee engagement and employee voice as it will bring benefits to the organization as a whole.
