Abstract (2. Language): 
As a pro-social behavior, whistleblowing come to the front after some ethical problems and some related ethical issues. Especially, in the last century, there are a lot of ethical scandals, global crisis, improprieties and negligences occured. Therefore, organizations need to establish some new forms and organs to have a sustainability. Whistleblowing can be defined as revealing non-ethical events or behaviors (like producing harmful foods even though marketing them as they are remedial) in a management system. This revelation is made by people working in the management or by the stakeholders. Whistleblowing is a treatment which relies on voluntarism. Because it includes many risks and threats, workers are afraid of bringing out behaviors which are illegal and non-ethical. So, conscience and virtue are very important in this theme. There are a lot of studies being done on this subject. But, in Turkey, there are so few studies on this concept. Further, this concept isn’t well understood yet in our country. So, in this study the aim is to investigate the impact of whistleblowing on ethical climate. In additon, the mobbing is entered to the model as moderator. Results indicate that whistleblowing has a direct and positive effect on ethical climate. Also, when mobbing is perceived to be high, the effect of whistleblowing on ethical climate weakened.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Etik kavramının daha da ön plana çıktığı günümüzde pro-sosyal davranışlar arasında nitelendirilen işyerlerinde olumsuz durumları ifşa etme (whistleblowing) mekanizması, yönetim ve örgütsel davranış alanında daha da önemli bir kavram haline gelmiştir. Özellikle, son yıllarda ortaya çıkan etik skandallar, küresel krizler, yolsuzluklar ve ihmaller nedeniyle organizasyonlar, yasalar çerçevesinde etik kararlar verebilmek ve yasa dışı faaliyetlerin önüne geçebilmek için yeni mekanizmalara ve organlara ihtiyaç duymaktadır. İşletmeler açısından etik dışı veya yasalara aykırı olan eylemler ile organizasyonlara zararı olacak davranışları ortaya çıkaran ve çeşitli konularda da düzeltici önlemler alınmasına imkân sağlayan mekanizmalardan biri de olumsuz durumları ifşa etme mekanizmasıdır. Bugüne kadar birçok çalışmada olumsuz durumları ifşa etme konusunda çeşitli araştırmalar yapılmıştır. Ancak, konunun ülkemizde sınırlı sayıda araştırmaya konu olduğunu ifade etmek mümkündür. Özellikle Türkiye gibi gelişmekte olan ülkelerde bazen yanlış anlaşılmalara dahi sebep olabilen bu tür bir mekanizmanın ilave katkılarla desteklenmesi adına, mevcut çalışma kapsamında uygulamalı bir alan araştırması yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı, işyerlerinde olumsuz durumları ifşa etme niyetinin etik iklim üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. İlave olarak, yıldırma (mobbing) algısının süreçte moderatör bir aracı değişken rolüyle sürece etkide bulunacağı iddia edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, olumsuz durumları ifşa etme niyetinin etik iklim üzerinde doğrudan ve pozitif yönde bir etkisi olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca, yıldırma algısının yüksek olarak algılandığı durumlarda ise olumsuz durumları ifşa etmenin etik iklim üzerindeki etkisinin zayıfladığı tespit edilmiştir.
