Abstract:

Whistleblowing behavior is considered as an important tool in exposing unethical or illegal behaviors occurring in education and health institutions. Whistleblowing behavior, which plays a role as a control system in organizations, is a starting point especially for organizations to control themselves. Organizational health is a state of integrity created by all kinds of physical, psychological and mental conditions that contribute to employee productivity and efficiency, job satisfaction, corporate loyalty and a sense of loyalty. In this context, the purpose of this research is to determine the relationship between the perception of organizational health and whistleblowing behavior. The research is a study that investigates the relationship between the two concepts and quantitative research method was used in the research. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 370 people, including 212 education workers and 158 health workers, who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study. The survey technique was used to collect the data and the data obtained were analyzed using the SPSS 22.00 package program. Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis Variance Analysis and Spearman Correlation Analysis were used to evaluate the findings in the study. As a result of the findings obtained from the study, a positive, weak (r = 0.143 p <0.05) but statistically significant relationship was found between organizational health perception and whistleblowing behavior. In addition, when the sub-dimensions of organizational health perception and whistleblowing behavior were examined, the presence of significant relationships in all dimensions were determined except for the "indifference" dimension.
