“…Our aim is to investigate the relationship between religious obligation and whistleblowing intention among employees in Halal food companies. Several previous studies showed a positive relationship between religious obligation and whistleblowing intention (Fitri, 2019;Puni et al, 2016;Toker Gokce, 2015). However, Yudha and Rizal (2018) found no significant relationship between whistleblowing intention and religion, as religious respondents reported a low desire to report wrongdoing.…”

Halal food fraud, such as fake Halal logos and adulteration, may happen due to irresponsible manufacturers seeking to maximise profit. Furthermore, Halal food fraud has been increasing over the years in Malaysia, and this issue needs to be considered since it is a major threat to Malaysia's reputation as an international Halal hub. One of the effective measures in reducing Halal food fraud is whistleblowing. In order to encourage whistleblowing, governments have established laws and policies to protect whistleblowers, but a lot of people are still unwilling to blow the whistle due to the retaliation that whistleblowers will face. Factors that may influence this ethical behaviour need to be studied. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to conceptually discuss potential factors (ethical climate types, organisation size, tenure, supervisor status, and religious obligation) that influence employees' intention to be involved in whistleblowing. A research model is proposed, followed by the developing of research hypotheses to test the model. In addition, the study's protocol (detailed plan) is later described. The theory of Ethical Climates will be used to guide this study. Data will be collected through convenience sampling by distributing self-administered questionnaires to 300 employees from Halal food companies in Malaysia. The collected data will be tested using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The findings from this study will help Halal food companies improve their whistleblowing practices. In addition, this study is useful for relevant policymakers to support whistleblowing practices.

“…Hasil tersebut mengindikasikan bahwa mahasiswa yang memiliki tingkat religiusitas yang tinggi semestinya memiliki intensi untuk melakukan whistleblowing. Hasil yang diperoleh konsisten dengan penelitian Indrasari dan Wardhana (2020); Pulungan (2019); Puni et al (2016); Puspitosari (2019) yang memperoleh hasil bahwa segala bentuk perilaku yang kontras dengan etika akan ditolak oleh orang-orang yang memiliki nilai religiusitas yang tinggi, karena orang-orang tersebut merasa terganggu dan tidak nyaman atas pelanggaran yang mereka ketahui. Fraud yang dianggap sebagai tindakan tidak etis yang tidak diajarkan dalam agama apapun akan mengarahkan orang-orang yang memiliki nilai religiusitas tersebut untuk menolaknya, salah satunya dengan melakukan tindakan whistleblowing.…”

College student life is inseparable from frauds, either academic fraud or in other forms. Students as the future leaders are required to prevent and stay away from all forms of fraud. One of the effective methods to prevent fraud is by disclosing fraud through whistleblowing. This study aims to analyze the effect of bystander effect phenomenon, religiosity, and retaliation on students' intention to do whistleblowing which focuses on student organizational life. This study uses primary data that obtained through a questionnaire that distributed and collected from 146 students who are the members of Faculty Economics and Business Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana Salatiga student organization as the research objects. The result proves that bystander effect and religiosity have negative and positive influence on the intention to do whistleblowing. Surprisingly, retaliation has a positive influence on students' intention to do whistleblowing. The result helps student organizations and other organizations to consider the factors that influence a person's intention to do whistleblowing, so the whistleblowing system can run effectively.

The Role of Whistle Blowing Policy as an Anti-Corruption Tool in Nigeria

The menace of corruption has bedeviled Nigeria over the years. Several statutory and policy attempts have been devised to arrest this ill, with hardly a positive result. The present administration tackles corruption in Nigeria through the whistle blowing policy. Although the policy was received with mixed feelings, it recorded tremendous success at the initial stage. However, the story subsequently changed. The decline may be attributed to the number of problems the policy created more than it sought to solve. One of the major challenges associated with this policy is lack of legislation facilitating it. Similarly, the policy is more interested in recovering funds than in punishing the actors behind the act thus vitiating the punitive objective of the criminal justice system which serves as deterrence. The whistle blower seems inadequately protected. This paper seeks to examine the law and practice of whistle blowing policy in Nigeria vis-a-vis what is obtainable in some jurisdictions. It submits that the current legal practice is inadequate to strengthen the policy in Nigeria. This work finds that unless some global standards and practices are adopted, the fight against corruption in Nigeria through the whistle blowing policy may be counterproductive.
