Abstract: In this paper, the authors studied the impact of organisational commitment on the whistleblowing intentions of the employees in the Indian real estate sector using multiple regression analysis. The findings revealed that affective commitment and normative commitment has a significantly positive impact on the whistleblowing intentions of employees. Amongst, affective and normative commitment; normative commitment has a more significant effect than an affective commitment on the whistleblowing intentions of the employees. While on the other hand continuance commitment showed the significantly negative impact on the whistleblowing intentions of the employees. This implies that employees that possess a high level of affection and feel obliged towards organisation intent to blow the whistle to safeguard the organisational interest. While on the other hand, employees experiencing continuance commitment due to fear of job loss and lack of attachment will dissuade from the act of whistleblowing.
