Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This study examined the relationship between employees’ perceptions of workplace freedom of speech and the messages they use to express organizational dissent. Workplace freedom of speech has been linked to organizational effectiveness, employee satisfaction, employee commitment, and a variety of other positive effects, as employees feel free to express disagreement without fear of organizational sanctions. This study links workplace freedom of speech with specific organizational dissent message types. Results showed that workers who reported less workplace freedom of speech were more likely to use messages of humor, upward appeals, and coalitions. That is, dissenters perceiving less freedom were more likely to couch their dissent as offhanded remarks that could later be labeled jokes, more likely to circumvent a supervisor to express the dissent to someone higher in the organization, and more likely to attempt to build shared understanding and support among others.
