: Considering that the research is limited to 400 Italian municipalities it is necessary to be careful about generalising these results. It would be worthwhile extending this analysis to other sectors of public administrations as well as to other countries and/or private companies. In addition, the research focuses on only two variables due to the availability of data provided by ANAC, but it is clear that this is an oversimplification of the observed phenomena. Future studies could include external whistleblowing, as well as an analysis of the relationship between the determinants of whistleblowing and the various types of wrongdoing. Finally, it would also be worthwhile studying the organisational level, by developing individual case studies.No funds, grants, or other support was received.The authors have no relevant financial or non-financial interests to disclose.
