• Abstract:

  Psychological Safety describes the perceptions of the consequences of taking

  risks in interactions in a given environment. That is, whether one feels safe and

  capable of taking a position, expressing oneself, and achieving goals instead of

  disengaging or keeping quiet, for example. In the organizational context,

  Psychological Safety facilitates "Voice" behavior, that is, the sharing of ideas,

  information, knowledge; contributing with suggestions and in the initiative to

  develop new products and services. This is an important factor because

  collaboration to achieve goals, and sharing ideas and perspectives, are

  behaviors expected of employees in companies.

  Such constructs could also be related to the learning of socio-emotional

  competencies, in that the expression of ideas and contributions requires a

  socially competent performance. On the other hand, considering that social

  competence is situational, an individual may not use such skills in various

  contexts due to anxiety, beliefs, psychological safety, among others.

  In this article we aim to better understand about the relationships between the

  concepts of Psychological Security, Learning and Voice in organizations, as

  factors that influence organizational performance

  It was possible to perceive overlaps between the constructs evaluated and that

  they are multivariate phenomena, which demands further investigation.
