whistleblowing
Using the standard theory, once the following conditions have been met then it’s permissible to blow the whistle:
1. The organization the whistleblower belongs to, through its product or policy, does serious harm to the public (including consumers, innocent bystanders or the general public at large).
2. The whistleblower has identified the threat of harm, reported it to their immediate supervisor, making clear both the threat itself and the objection to do it, and concluded that the superior will do nothing effective.
3. The whistleblower has exhausted other internal procedures within the organization – or at least made use of many internal procedures as the danger to others and her own safety make reasonable.
Whistleblowing is mandatory in these situations:
4. The whistleblower has/or has accessible evidence that would convince a reasonable, impartial observer that her view of the threat is correct.
5. The whistleblower has good reason to believe that revealing the threat will (probably) prevent the harm at reasonable cost.
Some situations can be more complicated than others . In these circumstances an employee can stay silent, report the issue internally or blow the whistle externally. The theories learned in can be used when deciding which option to take. To conclude, whether you have a sense of loyalty or not towards an organization, whistleblowing is considered an ethical and moral act. By following the standard theory principles, a person will know when whistleblowing is acceptable or necessary in some cases.
