The purpose of this paper is to identify and prioritize the factors which influence the whistle blowing intentions of teachers working in private higher education sector in India. The prioritization of the factors is done by using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine their relative importance. 13 influencing factors of whistle blowing are considered in the study, which are categorized under 4 main factors viz. whistleblower’s demographic characteristics; whistleblower’s personality variables; contextual variables and wrongdoing characteristics. The findings of the study suggest that wrongdoing characteristics and contextual variables are the most important factors which may influence the whistle blowing intentions of teachers working in private higher education sector in India.
