Abstract: This study is focused on achieving two objectives; first, examining the direct relationship between prosocial voice and the patient safety in Saudi public hospitals and second, investigating the moderating effect of self-monitoring on the relationship between prosocial voice and patient safety. The primary research design employed in the present study is a quantitative method of survey. A sample of 127 out of 251 healthcare organizations were selected in Saudi Arabia divided as follows: About 73 from the Central and 54 from the Western region. These are all public hospitals operating under the Kingdom’s Ministry of Health. Total 30 questionnaires were distributed in each of the 127 public hospitals of Saudi Arabia in the two regions. The staff workers in the nursing units are the main focus for the data collection through these questionnaires. The number of questionnaires returned totalled 1793 and therefore, the response rate is calculated by dividing the number of questionnaires returned or completed with the number of participants of the survey. This study used multiple regression and hierarchical multiple regression analyses to examine the relationship between prosocial voice and patient safety culture and moderating effect of self-monitoring on the prosocial voice and patient safety culture relationship. Specifically, the findings showed a positive and significant association between prosocial voice and patent safety culture and a significant effect of self-motoring on the prosocial voice and patent safety culture. Finally, this study offers recommendations for future researchers at the end.
