The relationship between leaders' ethical behaviors and internal whistleblowing among hotel employees is investigated in this study through the mediation role of organizational virtuousness. Ethical leadership has a favorable impact on organizational virtuousness and whistleblowing intention. The association between ethical leaders and subordinates' intention to whistleblow is partially mediated by organizational virtuousness. In addition to individual characteristics like moral bravery and ethical efficacy, hotel employees require organizational characteristics such as organizational climate and psychological empowerment to assist them in reporting ethics violations.
