Abstract

Ethics are viewed as one of the most important aspects of business and industry today. However, breach of ethical behaviour is not uncommon in an organisation. Because business and industry function in a highly competitive environment, management will often make decisions in their self‐interest rather than supporting the company’s code of ethics. When an employer complains about an illegal or unethical practice, instead of commending the employee, he or she is called a “whistleblower” and terminated. Ettorre states “The sad fact is that in today’s supposedly enlightened business world, corporate America continues to treat its whistleblowers poorly”.
