Project description
Whistleblowing without the risks
Whistleblowing serves as a crucial practice in upholding transparency and accountability, particularly in organisations, companies, and governments, by exposing and deterring wrongdoing. However, whistleblowers often face stigma or even penalties, posing serious risks to individuals and their well-being. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, the WHISTLEBLOWING project aims to foster a culture that supports and safeguards whistleblowers. To achieve this goal, the project will examine whistleblowing mechanisms and approaches worldwide, assess their effectiveness and safety, and subsequently develop innovative methodologies and practices for implementation. Collaboration with global and local stakeholders in organisations and governments will facilitate the integration of these methodologies and practices.
Objective
Whistleblowing is one of the most effective means of exposing and deterring wrongdoing, even though those who blow the whistle on such misconduct are often subjected to social and organizational stigma, despite their vital role in uncovering corruption. They face reprisal, demotion, harassment, and even dismissal from their jobs. As whistleblowers disclose organizational misconduct internally and/or externally to create and sustain a culture of integrity and transparency, organizations must establish effective whistleblowing channels that encourage speaking up without fear of retaliation. This project aims to positively transform perceptions toward whistleblowers through normative ethics training, compare the effectiveness of whistleblowing mechanisms across the world, and develop internal reporting mechanisms that consider the psychology of potential whistleblowers to create a culture of whistleblowing. This project fills significant gaps in examining the psychology behind whistleblowing and moves beyond existing scholarship by integrating global and local perspectives and mechanisms for whistleblowing and connecting business ethics, organizational behavior, and law literature to foster a culture of whistleblowing. Through investigating the psychological perspectives on whistleblowing and integrating the whistleblowing mechanisms in the European Union, the United States, and beyond, the project offers unique opportunities for internal whistleblowing mechanisms in Turkey and Europe.
