Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: High-profile, whistle-blowing cases including those at Enron, the FBI, WorldCom, and even the U.S. Military, have generated a great deal of recent media interest into this particular form of organizational resistance, However, Organizational Communication scholars appear to be sitting on the sideline when it comes to research into this topic, despite this phenomenon�s inherently communicative composition. Recent whistle-blowing research has been quite informative, though maintaining a narrow perspective on this activity. The purpose of this paper is to broaden whistle-blowing research by generating theoretically-driven propositions from three distinct perspectives, each of which could inform whistle-blowing scholarship. These perspectives include stakeholder theory, organizational change-related theories, and that of the structure of the organization. It is hoped that this essay generates new research into this distinct communicative event.
