The present work aims at examining the phenomenon of whistleblowing by providing a review of the research conducted in the organizational field as well as by proposing an analysis of the phenomenon from a psychosocial perspective. In the first part, we analyze the methodological issues pertaining the complexity of the research on whistleblowing. Then, we review the works investigating the variables - individual, organizational, and cultural - promoting or hindering the choice to report. In the final section of the review, we discuss the strategic relevance of the psychosocial perspective in understanding the whistleblowing phenomenon. © 2020 Societa Editrice il Mulino.

Il presente lavoro analizza il fenomeno del whistleblowing fornendo dapprima una ricognizione delle principali ricerche condotte in ambito organizzativo e proponendo infine una lettura del fenomeno da una prospettiva psicosociale. Nella prima parte sono analizzate le questioni metodologiche relative alla complessità della ricerca sul fenomeno del whistleblowing. Segue una trattazione degli studi che hanno indagato le variabili – individuali, organizzative e culturali – che facilitano o ostacolano la scelta di denunciare. Nell’ultima parte del lavoro, si discute la rilevanza strategica della prospettiva psicosociale nella comprensione del fenomeno del whistleblowing.

Abstract
The present work aims at examining the phenomenon of whistleblowing by providing a review of the research conducted in the organizational field as well as by proposing an analysis of the phenomenon from a psychosocial perspective. In the first part, we analyze the methodological issues pertaining the complexity of the research on whistleblowing. Then, we review the works investigating the variables - individual, organizational, and cultural - promoting or hindering the choice to report. In the final section of the review, we discuss the strategic relevance of the psychosocial perspective in understanding the whistleblowing phenomenon. © 2020 Societa Editrice il Mulino.
