Additionally, this study examines the moderating effect of moral capacity and ethical climate on the relationship between those planned behavior and whistleblowing intention using Integratedethical decision model (I-EDM) proposed by Schwartz (2016). Using data collected through a questionnaire survey with drop-off delivery approach to 90 employees working in the department of accounting and assets of the Regional Financial Management Agency in 8 Regencies/Cities in Papua and West Papua Provinces, Indonesia; this study finds that subjective norms and perceived behavioral control influence whistleblowing intention. Attitudes toward whistleblowing, however, does not affect whistleblowing intention. Further analysis reveals that moral capacity increases the relationship between attitudes towards whistleblowing and whistleblowing intention. Finally, this study finds that ethical climate strengthens the relationship between perceived behavioral control and whistleblowing intention. These findings provide partial support to the I-EDM model. Practically, this study suggests that to increase the whistleblowing intention of PEMDA accounting employees can be done by enhancing employee's moral capacity and increasing ethical climate within the organization.

Whistleblowing decision by an individual employee has always been an interesting topic in the management of businesses and organizations. Whistleblowing can be an effective fraud detection mechanism if a person decided to whistleblow on the wrongdoings of other employees. In reality, however, individuals who are aware of unlawful activity of his or her peer group members would face a challenging dilemma if the company or organizations they are working with do not have a sound whistleblowing policy to ensure the confidentiality of whistleblower. Knowing the factors that could influence their whistleblowing judgement and intention would be an interesting topic to be studied. The present study attempts to discuss on factors which would influence whistleblowing intention on staffs from selected public sector organizations in Malaysia. These factors include three individual level factors of ethical ideology (idealism and relativism), personality traits (conscientiousness, openness to experience, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism), and whistleblowing judgment, all with regards to peer reporting. A theoretical model is developed in accordance to the issues discussed in this paper.
