Popis: Organizational whistleblowing is a preventive tool to reduce the risks of malpractice and irregularities. If a firm finds out about irregularities early, it could save from a bigger loss. Given its importance, the study has extended the Theory of Planned Behavior to examine the impact of organizational identification and empowerment on whistleblowing behavior. The study also examines the moderating roles of ethical climate and proactive personality on whistleblowing behavior. The study focused on the leading banks of Pakistan and collected responses from 427 employees nonrandomly. We found that organization identification and empowerment significantly affect whistleblowing behavior. Our results suggest that ethical climate moderates organization Identification and whistleblowing behavior. However, contrary to past studies, our study did not support the moderating effect of proactive personality on organization identification and whistleblowing behavior.
