Özet:

 Today, the role of leaders in the success of organizations is undeniable. In this context, especially ethical leaders come to the forefront. The perception of managers as ethical leaders may affect their employees tendency to encourage moral identities as well as whistleblowing intentions to share illegitimate situations. In order to fulfil this expectation, it may be important to consider the power distance orientations of managers. Within this context, the main purpose of this study is to examine the mediating role of moral identity and the moderating role of power distance orientation in the effect of ethical leadership on whistleblowing intention. The study was conducted on 242 bank employees who were reached by convenience sampling method within the scope of quantitative research methods. The results of the study revealed that ethical leadership has a positive and significant effect on whistleblowing intention and moral identity. In addition to the mediating effect of moral identity on the whistleblowing intention of ethical leadership, it was determined that power distance orientation has a moderating role in the effect of ethical leadership on moral identity. In the conclusion section of the research, the findings obtained were evaluated and suggestions for future research were presented.

 Günümüzde örgütlerin başarısında liderlerin rolü yadsınamaz. Bu bağlamda özellikle etik liderler ön plana çıkmaktadır. Yöneticilerin etik liderler olarak algılanmaları çalışanlarının ahlaki kimlikleri cesaretlendirme yanında meşru olmayan durumların paylaşılmasına yönelik bilgi uçurma eğilimlerini etkileyebilir. Bu beklentinin karşılanması için yöneticilerin güç mesafesi yönelimlerinin de dikkate alınması önemli olabilir. Bu araştırmanın temel amacı etik liderliğin bilgi uçurma eğilimi üzerindeki etkisinde ahlaki kimliğin aracılık ve güç mesafesi yöneliminin düzenleyici rolünü incelemektir. Çalışma nicel araştırma yöntemleri kapsamında kolayda örnekleme yöntemiyle ulaşılan 242 banka çalışanı üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Araştırma sonuçları etik liderliğin bilgi uçurma eğilimi ve ahlaki kimlik üzerinde pozitif ve anlamlı bir etkisi olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca etik liderliğin bilgi uçurma eğilimi üzerinde ahlaki kimliğin aracılık etkisi yanında etik liderliğin ahlaki kimlik üzerindeki etkisinde güç mesafesi yöneliminin düzenleyicilik rolü olduğu saptanmıştır. Araştırma sonuç bölümünde elde edilen bulgular değerlendirilerek gelecek araştırmalar için öneriler sunulmuştur.
