TURKISH STUDENTS’ ATTITUDES AND INTENTIONS TOWARDS WHISTLEBLOWING

Öz

The development of information and communication technologies has led to significant changes in business and social life. Both communication and business practices have completely changed. Nowadays, the ones without English skills, computer literacy or the ability to use internet technologies are almost nonexistent in the business world. However, although new technologies have brought about new opportunities, they have also given rise to some new problems, among which is the whistleblowing concept translated as meşru ihbarcılık into Turkish. The subject of the study consists of how whistleblowing behavior is perceived. The behavior can be defined as reporting immoral or inappropriate behaviors within an organization to the ones in authority by employees. In particular, the study analyzes the differences between young people and the elderly, in other words, Gen X and Gen Y’s attitude and intention towards whistleblowing. In order to access and analyze the data of a large number of students, the opinions of the students from the ‘Business Administration Department’ at Anadolu University,
considered as ’entrepreneur and executive candidates for the future’ were selected. To define the relationship between two or more variables and learn the cause and effect relationship, the correlational research method, one of the quantitative research methods, was used. Purposive sampling technique, which tries to explain natural and social events or phenomena, was applied. To figure out the students’ whistleblowing attitude and intention, ‘Whistleblowing as Planned Behavior’ survey, based on Theory of Planned Behavior by Ajzen (1991) and developed by Park and Blenkinsopp (2009), was used. The results were evaluated according to the data gathered from 2683 students who are prospective candidates for future managerial and entrepreneurial positions. As a result, it was found out that Gen Y students’ intention towards whistleblowing is higher due to socio-political and economic experiences they have undergone. Overall Gen Ys are more competent than Gen Xs in terms of online whistleblowing, they are more intensely internalizing electronic business processes.
