| Summary: | The Theory of Planned Behaviour is used as an underlying model to investigate whistleblowing intention and document that attitude and subjective norms affect whistleblowing intention. Conversely, perceived behavioural intention does not affect whistleblowing intention. Despite a number of laws enacted to protect whistle-blowers in an attempt to prevent financial malfeasance and scandals, most organizations have yet to implement whistleblowing· as a policy. Without sufficient protections, whistle-blowers are vulnerable to retaliation and legal trouble. In general, we have found that the implementation of whistleblowing as internal policy would exhibit organizational support, enhancing employees' attitude towards whistleblowing. Hence, it is predicted that a whistleblowing policy would encourage whistle-blowers to come forward. |
