This study examines the relationship between workplace ostracism and employee voice by testing a moderated mediation model grounded in conservation of resources and self-determination theories. Organization-based self-esteem (OBSE) is proposed as a mediating mechanism, and perceived participative climate is examined as a contextual moderator. Survey data were collected from Turkish white-collar employees (N = 291). The findings indicate that workplace ostracism is negatively associated with employee voice, and OBSE fully mediates this relationship. Perceived participative climate moderates the relationship between workplace ostracism and OBSE, and the negative relationship is weaker at higher levels of perceived participative climate. Finally, the indirect effect of workplace ostracism on employee voice through OBSE weakens as perceived participation increases, consistent with a moderated mediation model. These findings suggest that participative climates may buffer the negative effects of workplace ostracism on organization-based self-esteem and, in turn, promote employee voice.
