Serie:
Routledge new directions in public relations and communication research
Inhalt:
"There is a growing interest in corporate whistleblowing, but no comprehensive research has yet focused on public relations practice. Drawing on extensive research on Fortune 1000 and Wilshire 5000 corporations, this book reveals executives' attitudes and relationships toward their organizations and its impact on whistleblowing. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it reveals that wrongdoing in corporations and the privileges of power co-exist. Top-ranking public relations executives, who are mostly white and male, are more likely to be aware of wrongdoing but no more likely to blow the whistle, fundamentally due to their positive relationship with their employers. Using the new lens of evolutionary theory, this study explains whistleblowing, retaliation and relationships and in the light of the connection between whistleblowing behaviour and executives' attitudes, it proposes a new theory of the phenomenon of golden handcuffs. As public attitudes to corporations, CSR and transparency harden, these findings have serious implications for companies globally. Researchers, scholars and advanced students in public relations, organizational communication, corporate communication, strategic communication, corporate reputation, and CSR will find this book full of revealing insights"--
