The Effects of Interpersonal Closeness and Issue Seriousness on Blowing the Whistle.
King, Granville, III
Journal of Business Communication, v34 n4 p419-36 Oct 1997
Surveys registered nurses to examine whether relational closeness and issue seriousness affected the likelihood of reporting a wrong doing. Finds that relational closeness influenced the decision to report a wrong doing; severity of the wrong doing influenced whether an incident is reported; and respondents would follow the proper chain of command in reporting a wrong doing.
