Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to explore the impact of leader emotional labor on employee voice. According to the emotion as information theory and the voice as a deliberate decision-making process framework, this study develops and tests a model that examines the mediating effects of psychological safety and perceived voice efficacy in this relationship.
Design/methodology/approach
This study conducted two studies to test hypotheses. Study 1 used a quantitative research methodology using a two-wave survey of 435 employees and 58 leaders in China. The research model was analyzed using multilevel path analyses. Study 2 collected 301 full-time employees from Prolific Platform. Hypotheses were tested using Mplus.
Findings
The results in Study 1 reveal that leader deep acting has a positive indirect relationship with employee voice via psychological safety. Conversely, leader surface acting has a negative indirect effect on employee voice through psychological safety. The results in Study 2 supported the hypotheses.
Originality/value
This study contributes to the voice as a deliberative process literature by introducing leader emotional labor as an antecedent of voice behavior. Additionally, this study indicates that perceived psychological safety and perceived voice efficacy are two important mediating mechanisms for implementing voice behavior.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine how organisational closure can inform strategic foresight.
Design/methodology/approach
The authors draw insights from illustrative cases, i.e. Swissair, Sabena and Cameroon Airlines to illustrate their theoretical analysis.
Findings
The study shed light on the effects of internal and external factors in precipitating business closures. The authors established that top executives’ hubris, resistance to change and over-reliance on external consultants are some of precursors to organisational closure.
Research limitations/implications
The analysis of this paper provides a range of strategies that organisations can pursue to learn from other firms’ closure and improve their survivability and chances of future success.
Originality/value
Despite a growing body of literature on strategic foresight and organisational closure, the literature has largely developed in isolation and as such the understanding of the relationship between strategic foresight and organisational closure has remained severely limited. The paper integrates these two streams of research to enrich the understanding of how firms can learn from others to improve their strategic foresight.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to implement the macro-modeling and passivity enforcement for the equivalent high frequency circuit model of a single-phase winding for an alternating current (AC) three-phase motor. It provides a stable and strictly passive Foster-type circuit macro-model for the winding. Consequently, a stable circuit network is guaranteed when it is connected with an external passive circuit. The equivalent circuit is validated on a three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor. Furthermore, the corresponding three-phase windings macro-model could be obtained accordingly.
Design/methodology/approach
The following techniques are used: the least square method, vector fitting method, the fast residue perturbation method, circuit synthesis, sequence quadratic programming method and simulated annealing method.
Findings
This work presents an effective approach to model an equivalent high frequency circuit macro-model for a single-phase winding. Simultaneously, both the characteristics of port passivity and component passivity are guaranteed.
Originality/value
This paper carries out both the port passivity and the component passivity enforcement for a single-phase winding of a motor during the macro-modeling procedure. This equivalent motor winding model can be applied to obtain the conducted electromagnetic interference and the overvoltage performance analysis for an adjustable speed motor drive system.
