This study aims to examine the factors that influence a person to be willing to become whistleblowers with religiosity as a moderating variable. The research sample was 153 government employees of Magelang City and Regency, Indonesia. The sample was selected through convenience sampling method. Data were obtained using a questionnaire distributed offline. The results showed that the factors of fraud seriousness, professional commitment, and personal cost had a significant positive effect on whistleblowing intentions; moral intensity and reward variables had no effect on whistleblowing intentions. Furthermore, the religiosity variable is unable to moderate the relationship between professional commitment and personal cost with whistleblowing intentions. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
