A key challenge is the gap between employees’ intentions to report misconduct and their eventual whistle-blowing behaviors. The study links employees’ cognitive states at the intention and behavior stages to the organization’s ethical infrastructure. Findings from a multisource field study and a multiwave experiment show that high-construal values-based communication strengthens intentions, while low-construal ethical accountability and retaliation systems moderate the intention–behavior translation.","cbCais07tb10khZH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais07tb10khZH","pdf",856716,1,28,"English","en","# Introduction\n## Corporate scandals and workplace wrongdoing\n## Governance mechanisms and internal reporting\n## Research focus and proposed theory","[{\"question\":\"Why does the document emphasize a gap between whistle-blowing intentions and behaviors?\",\"answer\":\"Employees often intend to report misconduct but do not reliably follow through.
