Whistleblowing is a concept studied across multiple academic disciplines (e.g., business ethics, law, sociology, public administration) that examines the voluntary disclosure by an individual (typically an insider) of non-public information regarding perceived wrongdoing, illegal activity, or unethical practices within an organization or system. This research area investigates the motivations, processes, consequences, and ethical dimensions associated with such disclosures, highlighting their significance for organizational accountability, regulatory compliance, public interest, and the protection and treatment of the individual discloser.
