Abstract
The aim of this paper to conceptually examine the relationship between personality traits and internal, and external whistleblowing intentions.
In the study, a literature review was conducted for personality traits and whistleblowing concepts. Personality traits are proposed as one of the reasons why some employees behave differently from others in reporting legal or unethical behavior. Many inventories are used to examine personality traits, and one of them is the six-factor HEXACO model, which differs from the five-factor model with some features.
In the findings of some studies examining the relationship between personality traits and whistleblowing, it has been found that personality traits such as agreeableness, conscientiousness, and extraversion have an effect on whistleblowing intention.
