Abstract
Whistle blowing brings to the notice of the world wrongdoings and immoral acts. It is seen as an act of defense for proper action for any misconduct, which is at play between individual coherence and organizational values. Whistle blowing is an important way to prevent and deter fraud, waste, and abuse in organizational work environments. When employees are feeling uncomfortable with wrongdoing, which necessarily arises in organizations, their sense of morals also come into effect, which compels them to make any wrongdoing or unethical act public. In essence, the interplay of policies and its discourse that make it mark in organizational realms figure within that morality consideration; morality permits individual to act morally and reasonably. This chapter explores whistle blowing.
