Sexual Harassment Reporting and Whistle-Blowing: A Proposed Model of Predictors and Outcomes

Abstract

Research literatures on the process of reporting sexual harassment and the process of blowing the whistle on organizational wrongdoing has been largely separate from one another. While there may be clear differences in the two processes there are also obvious similarities that might be better appreciated if findings and theory from the two literatures were integrated and compared. In this paper we argue that such cross-fertilization between the two fields may benefit both areas. To this end we propose a model of the process of reporting sexual harassment, based on earlier models of whistle-blowing, and suggest a set of propositions to support emphirical testing of the model.
