This study investigated whether procedural and distributive justice served as determinants of whistle-blowing intentions among randomly selected local government councils in Delta State. Two determinants of whistleblowing intentions were identified: distributive and procedural justice. To do this, 354 questionnaires were administered to two (2) cadres of employees (senior and junior) in six selected local government councils; however, 250 were fully completed and retrieved. Data obtained were analyzed via descriptive and inferential statistics. Based on the analysis, it was shown that a significant relationship exists between procedural and distributive justice and whistle-blowing intentions. This implied that distributive and procedural justices are determinants of whistle-blowing intentions. It recommends that local government council authorities enhance whistle-blowing mechanisms and frameworks to guarantee honesty and voluntary whistle-blowers. Also, there is a need for local government council authorities to find consequences for attempts to silence the whistleblowers via retaliatory actions.
