There is a growing interest in corporate whistleblowing, but no
comprehensive research has yet focused on public relations
practice. Drawing on extensive research on Fortune 1000 and
Wilshire 5000 corporations, this book reveals executives' attitudes
and relationships toward their organizations and their impact on
whistleblowing. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it reveals that wrongdoing
in corporations and the privileges of power coexist. Top-ranking
public relations executives, who are mostly white and male, are
more likely to be aware of wrongdoing but no more likely to blow
the whistle, fundamentally due to their positive relationship with
their employers. Using the new lens of evolutionary theory, this
study explains whistleblowing, retaliation, and relationships, and
in the light of the connection between whistleblowing behavior and
executives' attitudes, it proposes a new theory of the phenomenon
of Golden Handcuffs. As public attitudes to corporations, corporate
social responsibility (CSR), and transparency harden, these
findings have serious implications for companies globally.
Researchers, scholars, and advanced students in public relations,
organizational communication, corporate communication, strategic
communication, corporate reputation, and CSR will find this book
full of revealing insights.
