Exploring whistle-blowing intentions of employees working in the Indian banking sector

Abstract

The present study has explored the impact of organisational commitment and perceived organisational support on the internal and external whistle-blowing intentions of employees in the Indian Banking sector in this article. The purposive sampling technique has been employed to select a sample of 660 employees working in various banks in the National Capital Region (NCR) of Delhi. The primary data collected has been analysed through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and multiple regression analysis. The results indicate that organisational support has a significant positive impact on both internal and external whistle-blowing intentions. With regards to organisational commitment, affective commitment and normative commitment have a significant positive impact on internal and external intentions of whistle-blowing. However, the relationship between continuance commitment and internal whistle-blowing intention is insignificant, whereas the impact of CC on external whistle-blowing intention has been significantly positive.
