Özet
Purpose – To determine the mediating role of psychological safety in the effect of organisational cynicism on
whistleblowing intentions.
Design/methodology/approach – About 519 healthcare workers were surveyed. Existing validated scales for
organisational cynicism, whistleblowing intentions and psychological safety were used for data collection.
Exploratory factor analysis was conducted on the scales, and path analysis was used to test the hypotheses of
the study.
Findings – The results showed organisational cynicism had significant effects on both whistleblowing and
psychological safety, whilst psychological safety acted as a mediator but only for internal whistleblowing.
Originality/value –By testing a relatively complex model involving multiple variables, we were able to identify
a simpler model offering avenues for future research and practice implications.
