The research related with board of directors is an important research stream. One of the most noteworthy dimensions related with board composition is board gender diversity. Although, many research is undertaken in developed countries related with board gender diversity, related research is still at infancy in developing and emerging market economies. This study aims to contribute to the literature by comparison of important board composition dimensions, that are board gender diversity, presence of independent directors and board size between Turkey and Nigeria. The findings indicate no statistically significant difference between the two countries in terms of board gender diversity and underrepresentation of female directors. According to the research findings, the underrepresentation of female directors is more obvious in Turkey. On the other hand, there exists statistically significant difference in terms of board size and presence of independent board members among the two countries.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explain the effect of perceived ethical leadership and perceived distributive justice on internal whistleblowing intention through trust in leader as a mediator. Design/methodology/approach Following an empirical design, data were collected from 1,296 employees of Turkish financial institutions, located in Istanbul. To test four hypotheses structural equation modelling was applied. Findings Results reveal that trust in a leader fully mediates the positive effects of both ethical leadership and distributive justice on the internal whistleblowing intention. Originality/value This study enhances the understanding of the ethical leadership perception and distributive justice affecting the internal whistleblowing intention in Turkey that is a developing country. Although numerous studies on whistleblowing have been conducted, this study’s originality and contribution lay in the examination of trust in the leader as a missing link between the direct relations.
