Demografik faktörler ve algılanan örgütsel desteğin bilgi uçurma davranışı üzerine etkisi: Havaalanı çalışanları üzerinde bir araştırma

From the past to the present, there have been cases of abuse and misconduct in organizations, and individuals tend to report it to authorized institutions or individuals. This action is called whistleblowing. There are demographic and organizational factors that have an impact on the tendency of employees to report malpractices and behaviors that are not beneficial to the organization. This study examines the effects of perceived organizational support and demographic factors on whistleblowing behavior. First of all, a conceptual framework was drawn and data were collected from 156 aviation industry employees working in operational processes at Istanbul Airport and Esenboğa Airport by survey method. The data obtained were evaluated with the SPSS 25 package program. Within the scope of the research, independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, pearson correlation test and simple linear regression analyzes were used from parametric test methods. When the findings were examined, no significant difference was found between gender and whistleblowing tendency, perception of whistleblowing results and organizational support. A statistically significant difference was found between age and the perception of the result of whistleblowing, which is only one of the measurement tools. There is a statistically significant difference between marital status and perception of only the result of whistleblowing. A statistically significant difference was found between education level and all measurement tools of the research. It has been determined that there is a statistically significant difference between professional experience and the perception of only the result of whistleblowing, which is one of the measurement tools. It was determined that perceived organizational support predicted whistleblowing in a statistically significant and positive way, but it was not a significant predictor of whistleblowing results.
