RT Article T1 Responses to Legislative Changes: Corporate Whistleblowing Policies JF Journal of business ethics VO 17 IS 14 SP 1551 OP 1561 A1 Near, Janet P. A1 Dworkin, Terry Morehead LA English PB Springer Science + Business Media B. V YR 1998 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1785611305 AB Survey responses from Fortune 1000 firms were examined to assess whether firms changed their whistleblowing policies to response to changes in state statutes concerning whistleblowing. We predicted that firms might have created internal channels for whistleblowing in response to new legislation that increased their vulnerability to whistleblowing claims by employees. In fact, very few firms indicated that they had created their policies in responses to legal changes.
