The aim of the research is to build and test a model that explains the role of employee voice behaviours as an explanatory variable represented by its dimensions (employee voice behaviour, employee voice behaviour) in the effectiveness of the performance of self-managed work teams as a responsive variable represented by the dimensions (team performance, quality of work life, reducing withdrawal behaviour). To study the research problem, the research presented a theoretical presentation of what the researchers wrote and discussed about the concepts of (employee voice behaviours and self-managed work teams) after a systematic organization of logical hypotheses embodied in a hypothetical model, as it was tested by several statistical methods adopted to analyze the data collected in light of the response of a sample of managers and heads of departments and branches of the Anbar Governorate Education Directorate, numbering (46) individuals, designed for research purposes. The statistical analysis program (SPSS) was used, and the descriptive analytical approach was adopted as a research approach. The results showed the validity of most of the research hypotheses, the most prominent of which was the existence of a significant correlation between employee voice behaviours and the performance of managed work teams. As for the recommendations, the most notable was the need for public organisations to promote employee voice and provide an environment that encourages them to express their opinions and gives them complete freedom to express their suggestions
