Description
The advancement of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has profoundly changed the way individuals address societal issues. Increasingly, scholars examine how individuals can use information and communication technologies, such as social media, to effect change. Individuals from marginalized groups are using social media to voice concerns related to the need for social inclusion among those who are marginalized. Social media enables individuals to make their voices heard to battle inequal opportunities and insufficient resources within these groups. We develop our research model using the theoretical lens of organizational and employee voice. We describe our intended survey-based data collection effort from individuals within a marginalized group to identify factors affecting one's decision to voice concerns on social media about the experiences of marginalized individuals. The findings of this study will inform additional opportunities for research regarding factors that affect one's decision to voice concerns on social media to effect social change.

Determinants of Voice on Social Media among Individuals from Marginalized Groups
The advancement of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has profoundly changed the way individuals address societal issues. Increasingly, scholars examine how individuals can use information and communication technologies, such as social media, to effect change. Individuals from marginalized groups are using social media to voice concerns related to the need for social inclusion among those who are marginalized. Social media enables individuals to make their voices heard to battle inequal opportunities and insufficient resources within these groups. We develop our research model using the theoretical lens of organizational and employee voice. We describe our intended survey-based data collection effort from individuals within a marginalized group to identify factors affecting one's decision to voice concerns on social media about the experiences of marginalized individuals. The findings of this study will inform additional opportunities for research regarding factors that affect one's decision to voice concerns on social media to effect social change.
