Internal Corporate Whistleblowers Swayed by Protections, Not Pay: Study

Researchers at North Carolina State University and Bucknell University found that while strong anti-retaliation policies can encourage employees to notify internal authorities of possible wrongdoing, financial incentives do not appear to have sway. "The work supports the idea that companies that want to encourage internal reporting of wrongdoing should focus on developing and implementing anti-retaliation policies to protect whistleblowers," says Dr. Eileen Taylor, co-author of a paper on the work and an associate professor of accounting at NC State.
