“…employed AHP to find the relative importance of factors influencing adoption of e-government. Gupta and Chaudhary (2017) prioritized the factors influencing whistle-blowing intention of teachers in higher education sector. As recommended by Saaty (1980), the first step in AHP is to break down the decision problem into a hierarchy consisting of at least three levels: goal, criteria, and alternatives.…”

The aim of the present study is to find the relative importance of factors influencing the students' decisions to adopt Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). Eight sub-factors categorized under three main factors namely "benefits of MOOCs", "MOOCs features" and "social recognition", are considered for prioritization. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) methodology is also employed to prioritize the factors. The primary data pertaining to pair-wise comparisons of various factors and sub-factors have been obtained from 250 students by using convenience sampling. The results indicate that academic recognition, followed by openness, autonomy and cost effectiveness of MOOCs are the most important aspects which students consider while deciding to learn through MOOCs.

“…AHP is an MCDM technique which is applied for selecting alternatives or taking decisions on the basis of multiple criteria. Though AHP was designed for taking complex decisions, but it has been used by many researchers for prioritizing factors in various contexts, including service quality factors (Green and Ramroop, 2014), factors for organizational readiness in executing knowledge management (Sadeghi et al, 2013), factors influencing adoption of e-government , and influencing factors of whistle-blowing intention of teachers (Gupta and Chaudhary, 2017). The AHP technique involves breaking down the decision problem into a hierarchy consisting of at least three levels: goal, criteria, and alternatives (Saaty, 1980).…”

The aim of the present study is to find the relative importance of related challenges of implementing artificial intelligence (AI) in governance within the context of India. Eight sub-dimensions of challenges categorized under three main dimensions are considered for prioritization. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) methodology is employed to prioritize the challenges. The primary data pertaining to pair-wise comparisons of various factors and sub-factors has been obtained from 170 government officials by using convenience sampling. The results indicate that concerns related to data security, acquisition and storage are the major challenges in implementing AI assisted governance. Additionally, ethical considerations related to unethical use of data and lack of trust are other challenges which may act as barriers in diffusing AI in governance.

“…Whistle blowing, followed by immediate corrective actions, is a significant element to promote the organizational progress, and effectiveness particularly within the organization and in result, it increases societal trust (Bouville, 2008). On contrary, in the absence of such practices, public interests are harmed by the organizations when an organizational abuse occurs, such as, illegal practices, issues about moral values, and unethical behaviours (Gupta & Chaudhary, 2017). Therefore, whistle blowing has gained contemplation world widely through print and electronic media, official reports, and whistle blowing polices (Bovens, 1998).…”

“…(Zeelenberg & Pieters, 2007;Mesmer-Magnus & Viswesvaran, 2005). Another vital factor has been identified by researchers which has significant association with whistle blowing process, that is, job satisfaction (Gupta & Chaudhary, 2017;Cassematis & Wortley, 2013). It is a feeling of fulfilment or enjoyment that worker attains from his job due to the supportive system within the organization.…”

The well-known types of wrongdoings that happen at HEIs are; breach of laws, illegal use of power and corruption in public funds, moral and ethical misconducts, biased assessment procedure; promotion on the base of wide unfurl nepotism; favouritism in the form of postings and rankings, negligence in investigation, literary theft, tempering of data and examination results, mushrooming of fake degrees and distributions (Choudhary & Gupta, 2019Gupta, & 2017Schmidt, 2015). However, whistle blowing conducted by the faculty in HEls has not been investigated to an extent.…”

Whistle blowing is a term used to report the unethical act of colleagues and wrongdoings within the organization. Bringing attention towards the misconducts and organization’s effective response accordingly improves the productivity and quality of services. However, this generates the potential threats of organizational and interpersonal conflicts for the whistle-blower thus leads often failure in reporting by the personals or employees. This study explores the perceived barriers by the university teachers, which may hinder the process of reporting wrongdoings. Social constructionism qualitative research design is used. At first phase, face-to-face interviews of six faculty members and narrative research design has been used. At second phase, three focused group discussion sessions with total 24 participants, were carried out in three public sector universities of Punjab, purposively selected. Analysis shows that the people hesitate to blow the whistle due to psychological, social, and organizational barriers, like, fear of joblessness, security threats, lack of supportive organizational polices, lack of adequate mechanism for blowing the whistle, the personal waded interest of the personals. However, this procedure can be enhanced by addressing the issue well in time, adequate security measures, ensured job security for the whistle-blowers, and adoption of a well-developed reporting mechanism in the universities.
