• Strengths-based psychological climate
• Voice behavior
• Self-efficacy
• Felt obligation
• Collectivism

Based on positive psychology, this study investigates how a strengths-based psychological climate promotes voice behavior via two motivation states. Drawing on the model of proactive motivation, we develop a moderated-mediation model of the motivation processes linking a strengths-based psychological climate and voice behavior. We further argue that these relationships are moderated by employees' collectivism. To test our hypotheses, we performed a three-wave survey to collect data from 192 Chinese employees. Results showed that a strengths-based psychological climate directly promoted employees' voice behavior while self-efficacy and felt obligation mediated the relationship. Employees' collectivism moderated the indirect effects of a strengths-based psychological climate and voice behavior via self-efficacy and felt obligation. These findings advance our knowledge of how and when strengths-based HR practices function in organizations and contribute to the voice literature.
