Whistleblowing and Voicing Dissent in Organizations
Journal Title: International Journal of Management Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
The role of whistleblowing in organizations is vital. Yet, literature provides no conclusive definition for it. In fact, whistleblowing has been linked to dissent in organizations. Although whistleblowing and dissent are conceptually different, literature suggests that they shared some common characteristics. On this basis, the relationship between these two topics warrants a review especially for future researchers to set proper contexts for their organizational studies. This paper evaluates relevant literatures from their contextual definitions. Key components of whistleblowing were examined and the scope of dissent in organizations was analyzed. Our comparative review supports the assertion that whistleblowing is a form of organizational dissent.
