“…For example, Mesmer-Magnus and Viswesvaran (2005) found that job level was positively related to both intended and actual whistleblowing. These findings are replicated in recent research: Bjørkelo and colleagues found that respondents holding a leadership position or who were union or Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) representatives were more likely to report wrongdoing at work (Bjørkelo et al 2011). Similarly, Rothwell and Baldwin (2007) found that supervisory status was a consistent predictor of both willingness and frequency of whistleblowing.…”

“…Whether these results primarily are due to the nature of the reaction (formal or informal character) or due to the source of the negative reactions (e.g., CEO, supervisor or colleague) is unknown. What is known is, nevertheless, that repeated negative and retaliatory acts after whistleblowing can be both formal and informal and can be performed by both managers and colleagues (Bjørkelo, Einarsen, Nielsen, & Matthiesen, 2011;Bjørkelo et al, 2008).…”

Structured abstractPurpose: This viewpoint paper presents directions for future research by linking the academic fields of workplace bullying and whistleblowing together. This article also suggests implications as to how to deal with the health consequences that can develop after such workplace experiences.Design/methodology/approach: The paper describes empirical research on the link between whistleblowing and workplace bullying and suggests how to deal with the health consequences that develop in relation to workplace bullying after whistleblowing. Findings:Empirical research has documented the link between whistleblowing and workplace bullying and the devastating effects on health that may follow (e.g., depression and symptoms analogue to post traumatic stress). Implications for practice are; (1) to provide clear examples of unwanted workplace behavior and; (2) to help clinicians to gain a balance between the client's need to re-tell and the need for psychological treatment. Research limitations/implications:Future studies on workplace bullying are encouraged to;(1) be aware of the link to potential previous whistleblowing and; (2) study therapeutic interventions for employees exposed to bullying and who also have reported wrongdoing at work. Practical implications:

“…Kun hvis dette ikke fører frem med hensyn til de kritikkverdige forholdene, går de videre. Denne fremgangsmåten samstemmer også med norsk og internasjonal forskning på feltet (Bjørkelo, Einarsen, Nielsen, & Matthiesen, 2011;Brown, Moberly, Lewis, & Vandekerckhove, 2014).…”
