The act of reporting illegal and unethical practices in the workplace has become an increasingly important issue for researchers and organizational management over the past several decades. This study tested a model of whis- tleblowing in which perceived organizational retaliation and upward commu- nication satisfaction were hypothesized to act as predictors of types of whistleblowing intentions using a representative sample of employees working in Kirklareli, Turkey (n 1⁄4 1,012). Structural equation modeling indicated that perceptions of upward communication satisfaction were positively asso- ciated to blowing the whistle to internal channels like immediate supervisor and upper management and negatively related to staying silent and external whistleblowing. In addition, perceived threat of retaliation from an organiza- tion was negatively related to blowing the whistle to internal channels and 

positively related to staying silent and external whistleblowing. The present study has contributed to our understanding of whistleblowing in a relatively new national context by clarifying its associations with perceived organiza- tional retaliation and communication with management.
