Voice and retaliation: classifying types of victimization for whistleblowing as voice
No full textAbstract Whistleblowing is often considered an internal act of raising a concern (Vandekerckhove and Phillips, 2019, Micelli and Near, 1985). There is little recognition of this within the voice literature. The fields of human resource management, employee relations and organizational behavior exclude whistleblowing for various reasons. However, it is in these very streams of voice that individuals will raise concerns in the workplace. Literature has sought to highlight silo thinking (Mowbray et al., 2015) while Kenny et al. (2020) develop this with a focus on whistleblowing. This chapter draws heavily on Phillips (2022) and reflects on how seeing whistleblowing as voice allows a fresh approach to addressing victimization. Much has been said about how whistleblowing research can recognize retaliation but often identifies the severity by the number of types of retaliation (Smith, 2014). Adopting Cortina and Magely’s (2003) Work-based and Social-based retaliation model greater insight can be had into how stages of voice can lead to retaliation but more importantly how interventions can be made by different whistleblowing actors to prevent such retaliation
Exploring trade unions as a support for whistleblowers
No full textAbstract Trade unions play a very important role in the employment relations systems. Whistleblowing occurs in this same sphere suggesting that trade unions will be involved. However, what is known about trade unions in this space is either theoretical or empirically limited. This chapter seeks to explore these dynamics by exploring the limited literature to shed light on what we know about trade unions in practice. It will draw on the recent UK Post Office Horizon IT scandal. It will show how the theoretical discussions in the literature using Individual, Collective and Public Union voice maps to an extent what we have seen in practice. It draws out the difficulties trade unions face in supporting individual whistleblowers while having a collective mindset. The chapter uses examples from trade union engagement in other spheres of the employment relationship at the three levels to highlight the potential trade unions to take up and support whistleblowing

Whistleblowing policy and practice, volume II: external aspects
No full textOrganizations are increasingly under pressure from policymakers to adopt procedures to handle disclosures in a more transparent and effective way, yet, we continue to see whistleblowers speak up and suffer for doing so. Why does this happen? This two-volume work examines the different perspectives on who is responsible for receiving and acting on whistleblowing disclosures, implementing processes and procedures, and even deciding who can be defined as a whistleblower, These debates are contingent on underlying ideas for how whistleblowing should be handled and what channel is most appropriate, where debates also persist.
While there is widespread agreement that whistleblowing is a good thing (a position we assume in this book) the purpose of this book is to draw out the debates around the who and the how, two of the important questions for business to consider when dealing with whistleblowing disclosures. This second volume explores extra-organizational factors and their impact on the whistleblowing environment. It will be of great importance to academics and researchers of business ethics, HRM, corporate governance, leadership, strategy and corporate law

A Virtual Reality Bushfire Mitigation Tool for Community Consultation
No full textInstigating fire prevention and mitigation procedures within the rural/urban interface can save properties and lives. Councils and fire services can only do so much to prevent bushfire spread and damage within these areas. It is highly desirable that local communities to take responsibility for fire prevention and mitigation on their own properties.\ud
\ud
Changing people’s fire prevention and mitigation behaviours can only occur through effective education and consultation processes. This paper presents a virtual reality bushfire mitigation tool that will facilitate community consultation, and thus\ud
stimulate behavioural change with regard to fire mitigation. Virtual reality can visualise the effect mitigation can have in saving properties through using an interactive 3D interface that is readily understandable by the general public. This\ud
was achieved though a game-like application that allows users to change the vegetation and building configuration on their property. The users can run a fire simulation over the property and easily see the effect that their fire mitigation procedures would have on a fire front as it passes through their property.\ud
\ud
This contribution will improve community bushfire awareness and stimulate behavioural change which will directly reduce property damage and potentially save lives within the rural/urban interface
