A Potential Whistle-blower: To Tell or Not to Tell, That Is the Question

Abstract

Blowing the whistle reflects the importance of ethical behavior in the workplace. This case study uses the scenario of a hypothetical potential whistle-blower, Bill Evans, in Florida's state public sector and the ethical decisionmaking process he faces. After a review of current empirical literature and state and federal laws, decision options are evaluated in the context of a decisionmaking tool, Svara's Ethical Triangle. In the conclusion, options are assessed according to three evaluative criteria, leading to the selection of the most effective decision alternative for the potential whistle-blower.
