Ethics refers to the concept of what is right and wrong, moral and immoral. Ethical behavior is generally considered behavior that is in line with the accepted moral code, and that is proper. What Is Ethics? According to the dictionary, ethics is: 1. the study of standards of conduct and moral judgment; moral philosophy 2. a treatise on this study 3. the system or code of morals of a particular person, religion, group, profession, etc. Part of this definition is easy to understand. The first one refers to an academic concept. Philosophers, law professors, socialists, moralists and a whole host of other academics are engaged in the study of what is considered moral behavior. The study involves looking at different theories of ethics such as: situational ethics, consequential ethics, values ethics, utilitarian ethics, moralistic ethics, ethical realism, ethical hierarchy, principle ethics and moral development of ethics. The second definition is simple too... it just refers to all the writings about all of these different theories of ethics. The third definition, on the other hand, is where things get complicated. Ethics as a Concept When it comes to ethics as a specific code of moral behavior, this is where things get trickier. After all, who or what determines what is moral or ethical? Does public policy determine what is ethical? This would suggest that if you behave in line with what most people believe is right, you will be behaving ethically... but what if everyone believes it is right to have slaves or to kill elderly people? In those cases, the popular beliefs would not be ethical or moral... but why not, if the code of society says they are alright? Perhaps, then, the definition of ethical behavior shouldn't come from what society determines is right, but from what you know in your heart is right. However, people from different cultural backgrounds and different situations may have different moral codes. If someone has a skewed moral code -such as believing his race is superior to other races- does that justify his behavior if he honestly believes he is acting morally? This leads to the concept of certain moral truths or moral imperatives dictating what is ethical. For example, it is widely considered an inalienable truth that killing is wrong... even this, however, creates ethical problems -what about killing in war or assisted suicides, for example? Unfortunately, there is no clear answer to what is ethical or to what ethical behavior is. Many turn to religion or to the law to give guidance as to ethical behavior. Ultimately, however, ethical is a relative term not easily defined. DEFINATION OF WHISTLEBLOWER: A whistleblower is a person who raises a concern about alleged wrongdoing occurring in a government or governmental entity or a private or public corporation or an organization or agency that is expected, by the public at large, to be operating within the bounds of the law. The alleged misconduct may be classified in many ways; for example, a violation of a law, rule, regulation and/or a direct threat to public interest, such as fraud, health/safety violations, and corruption. Whistleblowers may make their allegations internally (for example, to other people within the accused organization) or externally (to regulators, law enforcement agencies, to the media or to groups concerned with the issues). Whistleblowers frequently face reprisal, sometimes at the hands of the organization or group which they have accused, sometimes from related organizations, and sometimes under law. ORIGIN OF TERM: The term whistleblower derives from the practice of British police officers, who would blow their whistles when they noticed the commission of a crime. The whistle would alert other law enforcement officers and the general public of danger. TYPES OF WHISTLEBLOWERS : Most whistleblowers are internal whistleblowers, who report misconduct on a fellow employee or superior within their company. One of the most interesting questions with respect to internal whistleblowers is why and under what circumstances people will either act on the spot to stop illegal and otherwise unacceptable behavior or report it. There is some reason to believe that people are more likely to take action with respect to unacceptable behavior, within an organization, if there are complaint systems that offer not just options dictated by the planning and control organization, but a choice of options for individuals, including an option that offers near absolute confidentiality. External whistleblowers, however, report misconduct on outside persons or entities. In these cases, depending on the information's severity and nature, whistleblowers may report the misconduct to lawyers, the media, law enforcement or watchdog agencies, or other local, state, or federal agencies. In some cases, external whistleblowing is encouraged by offering monetary reward. COMMON REACTIONS: Ideas about whistleblowing vary widely. Whistleblowers are commonly seen as selfless martyrs for public interest and organizational accountability; others view them as 'tattle tales' or 'snitches', solely pursuing personal glory and fame. Some academics (such as Thomas Alured Faunce) feel that whistleblowers should at least be entitled to a rebuttable presumption that they are attempting to apply ethical principles in the face of obstacles and that whistleblowing would be more respected in governance systems if it had a firmer academic basis in virtue ethics. It is probable that many people do not even consider blowing the whistle, not only because of fear of retaliation, but also because of fear of losing their relationships at work and outside work. Because the majority of cases are very low-profile and receive little or no media attention and because whistleblowers who do report significant misconduct are usually put in some form of danger or persecution, the idea of seeking fame and glory may be less commonly believed. Persecution of whistleblowers has become a serious issue in many parts of the world. Although whistleblowers are often protected under law from employer retaliation, there have been many cases where punishment for whistleblowing has occurred, such as termination, suspension, demotion, wage garnishment, and/or harsh mistreatment by other employees. For example, in the United States, most whistleblower protection laws provide for limited "make whole" remedies or damages for employment losses if whistleblower retaliation is proven. However, many whistleblowers report there exists a widespread "shoot the messenger" mentality by corporations or government agencies accused of misconduct and in some cases whistleblowers have been subjected to criminal prosecution in reprisal for reporting wrongdoing. As a reaction to this many private organizations have formed whistleblower legal defense funds or support groups to assist whistleblowers; two such examples are the National Whistleblowers Centerin the US and Public Concern at Work in the UK. Depending on the circumstances, it is not uncommon for whistleblowers to be ostracized by their co-workers, discriminated against by future potential employers, or even fired from their organization. This campaign directed at whistleblowers with the goal of eliminating them from the organization is referred to as mobbing. It is an extreme form of workplace bullying wherein the group is set against the targeted individual. Whistle-Blower Ethics: Whistle-blowing occurs when an insider calls attention to dangerous or illegal practices within an organization. Whistle-blowing arouses controversy because whistle-blowers find their loyalties divided between the organization on one hand and their ethical values on the other. Benefits Whistle-blowers often alert authorities to dangerous, unstable or detrimental situations within organizations. This action may preempt further abuses and ideally leads to greater transparency within the organization. Negative Consequences Whistle-blowing can have

    Research Paper IJMSRR Impact Factor: 3.029 E- ISSN - 2349-6746 Peer Reviewed & Indexed Journal ISSN -2349-6738 WHISTLEBLOWING: A STEP TO STRENGTHEN THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Dr. Santanu Kumar Das Assistant Professor, P.G. Department of Business Administration, Kalam Institute of Technology, Berhampur, Odisha. Abstract A whistle- blower is a person who raises a concern about wrongdoing occurring in an organisation or body of people. Usually this person would be from the same organisation. The revealed misconduct may be classified in many ways; for example, a violation of a law, rule, regulation and/or a direct threat to public interest, such as fraud, health/safety violations,and corruption. Whistle- blowers may make their allegations internally (for example, to other people within the accused organisation) or externally (to regulators, law enforcement agencies, to the media or to the groups-concerned with the issues). Whistle blowing has emerged on the forefront of corporate governance. It refers to blowing the lid off the rampant malpractices prevailing in today’s times. This paper examines why a need was felt for whistle blowing in India, relevant legal provisions and certain Indian cases (like Indian Oil Corporation, National Highway Authority of India, Ranbaxy, National Rural Employee Guarantee Act, Infosys et cetera) that dramatically led to a paradigm shift in the arena of whistle blowing. Recommendations in Indian context to encourage future whistle blowers are also provided. In the face of the dynamicity of business conditions, whistle blowing policies backed by the top echelons of management and government will usher in an era of true corporate governance.

  • Satyendra Dubey
    Satyendra Dubey December 10, 2003 Satyendra Dubey was a 31-year-old IIT Kanpur civil engineering graduate working with the National Highways Authority of India and assigned to the prime minister’s pet project, the Golden Quadrilateral, to connect the four corners of India. He was posted at Koderma, Jharkhand. On discovering rampant corruption and poor implementation of work in the section where he had been posted, Dubey wrote to the prime minister exposing the irregularities. In the letter, received by the prime minister’s office on November 11, 2002, he had named some companies. Fearing retribution, he had requested that his name be kept secret. But PMO officials circulated his letter along with details of his identity among the bureaucracy. The number of notings on the file bear witness to this (The Indian Express, November 30, 2003). While the file was making the rounds, not one official thought about the threat Dubey was being exposed to. Why officials in the PMO did not heed Dubey’s request for anonymity is not known. But just over a year later, on November 27, 2003, he was murdered in Gaya, Bihar. This is a clear signal to everyone that honesty in India has only one result — failure. An honest citizen must be prepared to forfeit one’s life. Satyendra Dubey’s IIT status is being talked about for two reasons: IITians will band together to generate support for one of their kin. National and international attention is attracted by this name. When the weakest person is hurt, our voices should rise the highest; and IITians are not the weakest.

    Jus Corpus Law Journal (JCLJ) ISSN: 2582-7820 www.juscorpus.com WHISTLE BLOWING IN INDIA Tamanna Phukan1 INTRODUCTION Every organization or company recruits persons from different strata of society. While some may be loyal and honest to their work, others might choose to make use of unethical and immoral means to either earn profit or position. The act of whistle blowing is driven by one’s ethics and the inherent desire of promoting something good for the organization, and the public at large. Whistle blowing can be defined as an act of a present or a former employee who has the knowledge of illegal or unethical practices being performed by some members of the organization and decides to report it to the management or a higher authority. Non- conformation to the wrongs committed by others is an essential characteristic of a whistle- blower. According to the International Labour Organisation, whistle blowing is “the reporting by employees or former employees of illegal, irregular, dangerous or unethical practices by employers.” In India, numeric instances of whistle blowing have come up in the recent past, the historic ones being the whistle blowing of Harshad Mehta by Sucheta Dalal (journalist) and of Governor-General Hastings by Maharaja Nand Kumar (revenue officer), which draws our attention to whether these whistle-blowers are protected under the law, and what are their rights and duties. TYPES OF WHISTLE BLOWING 1. Internal whistle blowing – It is when a person reports the occurrence of unethical practices to the management of the organization itself. 2. External whistle blowing – It is when a person reports the occurrence of unethical practices to the larger public, with the help of the press or media.
