- Description
- Based on the theory of planned behavior, this paper explores the relationship between an employee’s identification with the employing organization (organizational identification) and the employee’s intention to whistle-blow via organizational internal channels (internal whistle-blowing intention), incorporating a joint moderator that combines perceived ethical climate and proactive personality. After analyzing data from 726 employees in China, the results show that organizational identification is positively associated with internal whistle-blowing intention and that the relationship is jointly moderated by perceived ethical climate and proactive personality, i.e. organizational identification more positively predicts internal whistle-blowing intention in individuals who have a high proactive personality and perceive a strong ethical climate. The results are discussed in terms of the implications for theory and practice.
