Corruption is still a severe problem for many developing countries. One
of the efforts to eradicate corruption is implementing a whistleblowing
system. This research aims at examining the effects of professional
commitment, leadership style, organizational culture, rewards, and level
of retaliation towards internal whistleblowing intentions. The sample
used in this research consisted of 125 Indonesian civil servants who
worked in Klaten Regency, Central Java. This research indicated that
professional commitment, organizational culture, leadership style, and
reward had a positive and significant effect on internal whistleblowing
intentions. However, the research could not show that retaliation influences
internal whistleblowing intentions. This research implied strengthening
professional commitment, organizational culture, leadership, and rewards
that could increase whistleblowing intentions.
