Hello everyone! I am a BA student looking for an interesting topic to write my BA dissertation in a few months. I have decided on whistleblowing and HRM. I did not want to focus on compliance and policies but a different HRM perspective. Any ideas would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Abstract
Whistleblowing is the decision taken by an employee to report illegal or immoral practices of higher authorities or even peers to the police, media, persons, or organizations that may be able to effect appropriate corrective action. Whistleblowing is important as it often contributes to improvements in internal control systems and is a solution to organizational problems. This article examines the concept, the do's and don'ts, and the prospects and consequences of whistleblowing. Some individual cases, both from within the country and abroad, have been studied to support and substantiate the need for legal protection for whistleblowers.
Description
An employee blows the whistle when they tell their employer, the police, or the media about a dangerous or illegal activity taking place in the organization. Whistleblowing occurs when an employee discloses an employer's illegal, immoral, or illegitimate practices to persons or organizations that can take corrective action.
Whistleblowers have usually been treated as outcasts by employers. However, legal, ethical, and practical considerations increasingly compel companies to encourage employees to disclose suspected illegal and unethical activities through internal communication channels.
Whistleblowers provide an early warning system that can alert their colleagues, employers, or the public to the danger or illegality involved before it is too late. They are employees who have a greater degree of affinity towards society. Unfortunately, there are still some people who believe that "whistleblowing" is a wrongful activity and don't realize how whistleblowing can save lives, jobs, money, and reputations. Nowadays, more and more people have begun to realize how invaluable and responsible whistleblowing could be. There are internal whistleblowers and external whistleblowers. Internal whistleblowers report misconduct to a peer or superior within their organization, whereas external whistleblowers report the misconduct to the media or any other outside persons.

Firstly, thank you for your reply and introduction to whistleblowing. I have been reading into the topic and have found some helpful literature on general whistleblowing but not really focusing on HRM. Your response added to my trail of thought, and I was thinking of maybe focusing on measures HRM could implement to get employees to blow the whistle. There would be motivational, business culture/climate, among other issues (policies, compliance, and regulations). Do you know any good and current articles that will help me further? It would be great!
Thank you
