Whistle Blowing

Revised Thesis Statement

Whistleblowing is an important aspect related to the structural needs of organizations. It maintains and implements proper following procedures and guidelines for the elimination of employee’s rights violations and other inadequacies which impede the overall performance of the organization.

Whistleblowing promotes honesty

Whistleblowing has a direct relation to the promotion of honesty and transparency in the organizational structures.

Only an honest employee can become a whistleblower as he is unsatisfied with the ongoing sidetracked actions or procedures.
- The employees working at junior levels are usually the initiators of whistleblowing because most of the injustice is done to them and their rights are violated or suppressed by the senior level management or staff.
  - (Dobson, 2001)
Whistleblowing can also restrict unauthorized spending or use of organization’s financial assets.
- The misuse of financial resources of a company can incur huge losses for it so whistleblowing by accounts related working force is an essential requirement to avoid this misuse.
  - (Apaza & Chang, 2011)
Whistleblowing can also keep a check on criminal offenses occurring in any particular organization.
- The illegal use of organization’s property or facilities can produce unhealthy results for it so whistleblowers are a key factor for highlighting the areas having this illegal use.
  - (Boot, 2018)

Whistleblowing Promotes Efficient Communication

Communication and business ethics are really important for efficient working of any organization.

The communication barriers between higher and lower management are overcome by whistleblowing.
- If the higher management listens and acts upon the advice of whistleblowers, then the communication barriers are removed from the organizational structure.
  - (Lindblom, 2007).
Whistleblowing boosts the confidence of employers in communication with their managers.
- It brings confidence among the employees as it makes them think that their voices or advice are given due attention and consideration.
  - (Moaşa, 2013)
Whistleblowers also promote honest communications among the employees themselves.
- The same level communications among the employees or staff are also promoted in the context of honesty and integrity which promotes organizational unity.
  - (Routray, 2014)

Whistleblowing Eradicates Fraud Occurrences

Whistleblowers usually highlight the frauds and illegal procedures which are then brought into the limelight and are met with strong retaliation by the organization.

Whistleblowing highlights financial frauds and mishandlings.
- The mishandlings of finance produce drastic results on the organizational output and disturb the business cycle.
  - (Griffin, 2007)
Whistleblowing highlights negative organizational politics going on in any company or organization.
- The organizational politics can result in detrimental situations if done in a negative manner as it destructs the stable working environment.
  - (Rhoades, 1996)
Whistleblowers are largely concerned with the mishandlings going on with the workforce as well as organizational resources.
- The rights violation of employees and their mishandling is also pinpointed in the whistleblowing technique and it compels higher authorities to take appropriate steps for their elimination.
  - (Mesmer-Magnus & Viswesvaran, 2005)
