Corporate Governance and Whistleblowing Corporate Culture and Employee Behaviour

Corporate Governance and Whistleblowing Corporate Culture and Employee Behaviour

Whistleblowing is often about disclosing wrongdoings by members of organisations to persons or organisations that may be able to effect action. Media would at times publish stories of whistleblowers who engage in ‘heroic’ acts of exposing wrongdoings at work but the whistlebowers often face significant negative consequences of their whistleblowing efforts. This book examines effects of national and organisational cultures on the whistleblowing decisions of employees. The book provides empirical evidence of association between organisational culture and whistleblowing and there appears to be a lower likelihood of whistleblowing in organisations that focus more on the cultural dimensions of respect for people innovation and stability. It also illustrates how remaining silent or blowing the whistle in response to observed wrongdoings affects employees’ key work-related attitudes. This book would interest those wish to gain better understanding of the relationship between culture and whistleblowing in organisations. | Corporate Governance and Whistleblowing Corporate Culture and Employee Behaviour

Public Relations and Whistleblowing Golden Handcuffs in Corporate Wrongdoing

Public Relations and Whistleblowing Golden Handcuffs in Corporate Wrongdoing

There is a growing interest in corporate whistleblowing but no comprehensive research has yet focused on public relations practice. Drawing on extensive research on Fortune 1000 and Wilshire 5000 corporations this book reveals executives’ attitudes and relationships toward their organizations and their impact on whistleblowing. Perhaps unsurprisingly it reveals that wrongdoing in corporations and the privileges of power coexist. Top-ranking public relations executives who are mostly white and male are more likely to be aware of wrongdoing but no more likely to blow the whistle fundamentally due to their positive relationship with their employers. Using the new lens of evolutionary theory this study explains whistleblowing retaliation and relationships and in the light of the connection between whistleblowing behavior and executives’ attitudes it proposes a new theory of the phenomenon of Golden Handcuffs. As public attitudes to corporations corporate social responsibility (CSR) and transparency harden these findings have serious implications for companies globally. Researchers scholars and advanced students in public relations organizational communication corporate communication strategic communication corporate reputation and CSR will find this book full of revealing insights. | Public Relations and Whistleblowing Golden Handcuffs in Corporate Wrongdoing

Intelligence Elites and Public Accountability Relationships of Influence with Civil Society

Intelligence Elites and Public Accountability Relationships of Influence with Civil Society

This book provides a definitive overview of the relationships of influence between civil society and intelligence elites. The secrecy surrounding intelligence means that publication of intelligence is highly restricted barring occasional whistle-blowing and sanitised official leaks. These characteristics mean that intelligence if publicised can be highly manipulated by intelligence elites while civil society’s ability to assess and verify claims is compromised by absence of independent evidence. There are few studies on the relationship between civil society and intelligence elites which makes it hard to form robust assessments or practical recommendations regarding public oversight of intelligence elites. Addressing that lacuna this book analyses two case studies of global political significance. The intelligence practices they focus on (contemporary mass surveillance and Bush-era torture-intelligence policies) have been presented as vital in fighting the ‘Global War on Terror’ enmeshing governments of scores of nation-states while challenging internationally established human rights to privacy and to freedom from torture and enforced disappearance. The book aims to synthesise what is known on relationships of influence between civil society and intelligence elites. It moves away from disciplinary silos to make original recommendations for how a variety of academic disciplines most likely to study the relationship between civil society and intelligence elites (international relations history journalism and media) could productively cross-fertilise. Finally it aims to create a practical benchmark to enable civil society to better hold intelligence elites publicly accountable. This book will be of great interest to students of intelligence studies surveillance media journalism civil society democracy and IR in general. | Intelligence Elites and Public Accountability Relationships of Influence with Civil Society
