Potential Predictors of Whistle-Blowing: A Prosocial Behavior Perspective
提出举报是一种亲社会行为,借鉴社会心理学中亲社会行为的实证研究,修改了旁观者干预框架,提出预测举报行为的个性与情境变量,为未来研究提供命题。
Why do some observers of organizational wrongdoing choose to report it? This question has received little research attention despite its prominence in the popular media. This paper attempts to show that whistle-blowing is a form of prosocial behavior. Empirical studies in the social-psychological literature of prosocial behavior provide clues about personality and situational variables predictive of whistle-blowing. Latane's and Barley's (1968, 1970) bystander intervention framework is modified for whistle-blowing decisions. Propositions for future research are offered.
