In particular, it examines the moderating role of gender in the relationship between observer confidence and Employees’ Own Voice Behavior.The present research is applied in terms of purpose and in terms of method of collecting and analyzing information and data, respectively descriptive-survey and questionnaire and is of causal type. The statistical population of the research of the National Iranian Oil Company includes 250 people who were randomly selected, sample 148 and were encouraged to respond.To collect data from the standard questionnaires of Perceived supervisor’s voice behavior and Employees’ Own Voice Behavior by Maynes andPodsakoff (2014) and Trust in supervisor by McAllister (1995) and hierarchical regression analysis and Hayes’ PROCESS macro were used to analyze the data. The results showed: the perceived supervisor’s voice behavior was positively associated with employeevoice behavior; trust in supervisor mediated the relationship between perceived supervisor’s voice behavior and employee voice behavior; gender moderated the relationship between trust in supervisor and employee voice behaviors; and gender moderated the indirect effect of perceived supervisor’s voice behavior on employee voice behavior via trust in supervisor.The current study investigates employees’ perception of immediate supervisor’s voice behavior that encourages employees to speak up, thereby providing a more nuanced understanding of the factors that facilitate employee voice behavior.
