Abstract

This study aims to investigate the influence of the whistleblowing triangle on employees’ intentions to report fraudulent activities within medium-sized businesses in Indonesia. The whistleblowing triangle is the theoretical framework integrating factors from the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Fraud Triangle Theory. With a focus on Indonesian businesses’ accounting and finance staff, this research engages 120 participants. The study examines how elements of the whistleblowing triangle affect whistleblowing intentions, employing multiple linear regression analysis. Results indicate a significant impact, with pressure exerting a negative effect, while opportunity and rationale positively influence the propensity to disclose fraudulent activities. Organizations can bolster fraud prevention measures by understanding these dynamics through robust reporting procedures. This study contributes to the existing literature by offering an integrated approach, contrasting with previous research that analyzed whistleblowing intentions separately using the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Fraud Triangle.
