Present study aims to examine the role of perceived fear of retaliation and value orientations (individualism, collectivism, idealism, and relativism) on whistleblowing intentions (both internal and external). Sample used in the present study consists of 237 executive MBA students from two leading Indian business schools. According to the results of paired sample t test, respondents reported significantly higher internal whistleblowing intentions than external whistleblowing intentions. Results also indicate that there is a significant inverse relationship between fear of bad consequences on job and whistleblowing intentions (both internal and external). Also, fear of bad consequences for the company is positively correlated with internal whistleblowing intentions. Lastly, collectivism is also found to be positively related with internal whistleblowing intentions. Limitations and implications of the findings were also discussed.

报复和价值取向在举报意图中的作用

当前的研究旨在检验对报复和价值取向（个人主义，集体主义，理想主义和相对主义）的恐惧对举报意图（内部和外部）的作用。本研究中使用的样本包括来自印度两所领先商学院的237位MBA MBA学生。根据配对样本t检验的结果，受访者表示内部举报意图明显高于外部举报意图。结果还表明，对工作的不良后果的恐惧与举报意图（内部和外部）之间存在显着的反比关系。同样，担心对公司造成不良后果与内部举报意图正相关。最后，还发现集体主义与内部举报意图正相关。还讨论了研究结果的局限性和含义。
