Abstract
Leveraging the narcissistic admiration and rivalry concept (NARC) and trait activation theory (TAT), this research investigates the mechanisms through which narcissistic admiration affects voice behavior, examining the mediating role of relational approach motivation in behavioral outcomes as well as the moderating role of abusive supervision contexts. Through the analysis of the survey data from 400 respondents, this research employs diverse methods, encompassing common method bias testing, confirmatory factor analysis, and regression analysis, to validate its hypotheses. Overall, the research results reveal the following findings. First and foremost, narcissistic admiration traits significantly and positively affect employees’ voice behavior. Secondly, the relational approach motivation plays a mediating role between narcissistic admiration and voice behavior. Lastly, abusive supervision positively strengthens both the mediating role of relational approach motivation and the indirect effect of narcissistic admiration on voice behavior through relational approach motivation.
