Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the influence of professionalism, moral intensity, and trust on whistleblowing intention among employees of PT Bank Riau Kepri Syariah, Batam Branch.Whistleblowing was considered a prosocial behavior that played an essential role in detecting and preventing ethical violations in the workplace, particularly in Islamic banking, which upheld the values of honesty, trustworthiness, and justice.The research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method involving 41 respondents.The sampling process applied purposive sampling by setting specific criteria, while the analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS version 24, after all research instruments had passed validity, reliability, and classical assumption tests.The results showed that professionalism and trust (both cognitive and affective) had a positive and significant effect on whistleblowing intention, whereas moral intensity did not have a significant effect.These findings confirmed the importance of building an organizational culture based on professionalism and trust to encourage employees' willingness to report unethical behavior.This study was expected to provide theoretical contributions to the development of prosocial organizational behavior and serve as a practical reference for Islamic banking management in strengthening effective and sustainable internal reporting systems..
