“…Whereas not the worst in the world, whistleblowing is in most of Africa tantamount to "death penalty" (Mosimann-Barbier, 2014; Open Democracy Advice Centre (ODAC), 2015 ;Farooqi, Abud & Ahmed, 2017;Halpin & Dundon, 2017;Nel, Forster & Thesnaar, 2020;Wiener, 2020;Gavin, 2021;Frohlich, 2022;Jansen, 2022;Mojapelo, 2022;Wright, 2022). Whistleblowing "is a way of challenging power, an assertion of belief in legality and morality" (Wiener, 2020: 10).…”

This article demonstrates that corruption, illegality and insecurity, which escalated with the ruling African National Congress' (ANC's) deconsecration of South Africa's stateness, are reigning under the grip of the "triple crisis of governance" and societal leadership vacuum. It argues that South Africa's defiled stateness has allowed for the ceding of public/state power and authority to non-state actors, intolerance of state-society subsidiarity, abuse of state power, industrial-scale corruption and persecution of whistleblowers. The article cites tales of persecution and killing of whistleblowers and the extraordinarily high proportion of public distrust of key state institutions and the political system that created an ominous societal leadership vacuum as indicators of the "triple crisis of governance" and deconsecrated stateness. It holds that political party state governance is not absolute; instead, it is "relational" and "situational," requiring citizenry legitimacy and public trust, which are vested with state-society subsidiarity, without which control of public/state power and authority would be impossible outside the use of force, violence or fraudulent means. This article concludes that having ceded public/state power and authority to non-state actors and deconsecrating stateness, the ANC allowed for the consolidation of an ominous societal leadership vacuum under which the South African democratic experiment would not endure. Therefore, the ANC's solace about lost votes not accruing to opposition parties is delusional because an increasing majority of South Africans are now willing to forego electoral democracy and to settle for an unelected but effective government that guarantees security, legality, rule of law and accountability. This article recommends that institutions of society embark on nationwide campaigns to sanctify South Africa's stateness and counter the phenomenon of defiled statehood by reinvigorating the vibrancy of citizenship in the democratic experiment.

“…Law 179/2017 thus represents a significant improvement on the previous regulation. However, much still needs to be done, as shown by those countries in the world where whistleblowing-protection laws are present but ineffective (Halpin and Dundon, 2017). First, the law needs to be applied correctly and efficiently by both public and private organizations.…”

Whistleblowing is a typical and widespread phenomenon in contemporary societies, and it has the potential to illuminate many of the issues that affect the workplace today. By recounting the story of an Italian whistleblower who suffered harsh professional retaliation and severe personal consequences because of his disclosure of accounting malpractices in his employing organization, this article aims to furnish a series of insights and stimulate avenues for future research. In particular, the account yields rich insights into current pervasive forms of managerial control of the workforce, the role of traditional and new actors in influencing the power dynamics of the employment relationship, and the interplay between the organizational and institutional levels in the regulation of labour relations.

Son yıllarda yaşanan küresel rekabetle birlikte, liderler bir örgütte sadece güç ve statüye sahip bir kişi değil, aynı zamanda bir mentor, bir motive edici, bir değişim ajanı ve en önemlisi takipçilerinin tutum ve davranışlarını şekillendiren önemli bilgi kaynakları olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu araştırmanın temel amacı sosyal öğrenme teorisi ve sosyal mübadele teorisinden faydalanılarak, etik liderliğin takipçilerin bilgi uçurma eylemlerini nasıl etkilediğini ve bu etki düzeyine psikolojik sermayenin aracılık edip etmediğini tespit etmektir. Kavramsal ve ampirik araştırma sonuçları etik liderliğin, çalışanlara etik olmayan herhangi bir davranış hakkında seslerini yükseltebilmeleri için gerekli inisiyatifi almalarını sağlayarak, bilgi uçurma niyetini olumlu yönde etkilediğini açıkça göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte, psikolojik sermayenin etik liderlik ile bilgi uçurma arasındaki etkileşiminde kısmi bir aracılık etkisinin olduğu ortaya konmuştur. Elde edilen sonuçlar, gerek etik liderliğin bilgi uçurma eylemini nasıl etkilediği konusunda yeni bakış açılarına işaret edecek olması gerekse iş hayatında bireylerin hedeflere ulaşmasını sağlayan pozitif bir psikolojik kaynak olarak kabul edilen psikolojik sermayenin önemine dikkat çekmesi açısından oldukça önemlidir.
