Whistleblowing is an effective tool for ensuring a holistic environment in organizations that rely upon the pillars of accountability and integrity. Usually whistleblowers face dilemma about whether to raise their concern, to whom to raise the issue, what may be the consequences, will they be heard or shall they remain silent. This study is an attempt to assess the perception of executives in the Central Public Sector Enterprises having offices in Kolkata with respect to whistleblowing.
