Abstract

Indonesia is a country in the Asia Pacific region with high corruption track record cases, that is ranked 90 according to Corruption Perceptions Index based on Transparency International’s survey—that is far below Brunei (41), and Singapore (7). The cases of corruption, that continue to be revealed is thus encouraging the Government to issue various regulations in preventing fraud. An early detection of corruption cases is the most effective prevention aspect, which is by applying a whistleblowing system. This study aims to determine the intention of a person in becoming a whistleblower in anonymous conditions and reward models. Data analysis was performed by using Kruskal Wallis Test and Mann-Whitney Test with SPSS Version 24 application. The results show that under Cash Reward Model conditions, anonymous reporting lines and non-anonymous reporting lines were equally effective in influencing one’s intention to take whistleblowing action. Whilst, under No Reward Model conditions, anonymous reporting paths are more effective in influencing a person’s intentions to perform whistleblowing actions. The implications of this research is expected to be a consideration for the Government in terms of the renewal of reward policies and safeguard policies related to anonymous reporting lines in an effective whistleblowing system, so that the policy will increase the intention of various parties to take whistleblowing action.
