Best-laid plans: can whistleblowing on project problems be encouraged?
The research analyzes responses from 132 IT project managers to hypothetical scenarios, identifying seven key factors affecting whistleblowing intentions. Key findings reveal that employees are more likely to report problems when they trust supervisors, operate in a supportive organizational climate, and can report anonymously. Historical management responsiveness and assigned reporting responsibilities further encourage transparency. Contrary to expectations, the ability to hide information did not deter reporting, and managers were more likely to disclose issues in projects strongly endorsed by senior leadership, prioritizing project success over personal risk. The study highlights the importance of a benefit-cost framework, where perceived benefits (e.g., corrective action, trust) outweigh costs (e.g., retaliation) in shaping reporting behavior. Practical implications suggest that fostering trust, ensuring prompt management responses, and creating safe reporting mechanisms can enhance problem disclosure without extensive monitoring. These measures enable timely interventions, improving project outcomes and organizational decision-making.
