The Effect of Internal Locus of Control on Whistleblowing Intention: The Mediating Role of Organisational Commitment

The current study examines the link between internal locus of control on whistleblowing intention, by specifically testing the mediating role of organisational commitment. To test this study's hypotheses, we analysed 196 employees of the Riau Province Government (Indonesia) using structural equation modelling (SEM) based on partial least squares. The major finding revealed that internal locus of control positively affects the whistleblowing intention. Furthermore, this study discovered that organisational commitment mediates psychological processes underlying the relationship between internal locus of control and whistleblowing intention.
