Introduction / The incidence and significance of whistleblowing / Who blows the whistle, who doesn't and why? / How do officials report? Internal and external whistleblowing / The good, the bad and the ugly: whistleblowing outcomes / Whistleblower mistreatment: identifying the risks / Support for whistleblowing among managers: exploring job satisfaction and awareness of obligations / Investigations: improving practice and building capacity / Internal witness support: the unmet challenge / Evaluating agency responses: comprehensiveness and the impact of whistleblowing procedures / Best-practice whistleblowing legislation for the public sector: the key principles / Project findings: an agenda for action / Select bibliography -- Research questions -- Wrongdoing categories and types -- A new framework for internal witness management systems. A.J. Brown and Marika Donkin -- A.J. Brown, Evalynn Mazurski and Jane Olsen -- Richard Wortley, Peter Cassematis and Marika Donkin -- Marika Donkin, Rodney Smith and A.J. Brown -- Rodney Smith and A.J. Brown -- A.J. Brown and Jane Olsen -- Paul Mazerolle and A.J. Brown -- Margaret Mitchell -- A.J. Brown and Jane Olsen -- Peter Roberts -- A.J.

"Of the many challenges in public sector management, few are as complex as the management of whistleblowing. Because it can lead to the discovery and rectification of wrongdoing, public interest whistleblowing is widely acknowledged as being positive for organisations and for society at large. However, the conflicts and reprisal risks often associated with whistleblowing also support a widespread belief that every whistleblower is destined to suffer, and nothing can be done to protect them from reprisals. Even if they did it once, sensible employees are often seen as unlikely to ever blow the whistle a second time around. The extensive research in this book reveals a more complex and, fortunately, more positive picture. The product of one of the world's most comprehensive research projects on whistleblowing, evidence from over 8,000 public servants in over 100 federal, state and local government agencies shows that whistleblowers can and do survive, and that often their role is highly valued. Public sector managers face significant challenges in better managing and protecting whistleblowers. There is great variation between the many public agencies making the effort, and the many agencies where the outcomes -- for managers and whistleblowers alike -- are still likely to be grim. This book is compulsory reading for all public sector managers who wish to turn this negative trend around, and for anyone interested in public accountability generally."--Publisher's description
