This article extends the knowledge on whistleblowing by studying the impact of two individual antecedents (moral foundations and personality traits) and two situational factors (ethical leadership and leader–member exchange) on whistleblowing intentions. We presented 203 management students with a situation and assessed their likelihood of whistleblowing. Model estimations found strong support for situational factors overpowering the individual factors in determining the whistleblowing intentions. We found that ethical leadership was positively, and leader–member exchange negatively related with whistleblowing. In the presence of these situational factors, neither the Big Five personality traits, nor the moral foundations of a person seemed to matter in predicting an individual’s whistleblowing behaviour.

本文通过研究两个个体前因（道德基础和人格特质）和两个情境因素（道德领导和领导-成员交流）对举报意图的影响，扩展了对举报的认识。我们向 203 名管理专业的学生展示了一种情况，并评估了他们举报的可能性。模型估计发现，在确定举报意图时，情境因素压倒了个人因素，得到了强有力的支持。我们发现道德领导是积极的，领导-成员交流与举报呈负相关。在存在这些情境因素的情况下，无论是五巨头的人格特质还是一个人的道德基础，在预测一个人的举报行为方面似乎都无关紧要。
