Abstract

Whistleblowing is believed to have an important role as a social control mechanism to reduce misconduct in the workplace. To prevent violations and abuse of authority in administrative and financial practices in government agencies, a good whistleblowing system needs to be developed. This research was conducted to investigate the relationship between ethical leadership and moral courage to whistleblowing intentions in government agencies. The result from a sample of 239 public sector employees support the premise that ethical leadership and moral courage affect whistleblowing intention. Further, ethical leadership is discovered has an indirect effect on whistleblowing intentions through moral courage. The results of this study are expected to provide input on improving whistleblowing systems in government agencies.
