Understanding The Phenomenon of Whistle Blowing with A Hybrid Approach

In the past years, developing and implementing policies in the field of whistle-blowing with the aim of realizing public supervision have been pursued by developed countries, which have also provided them with considerable success in controlling administrative corruption. Taking advantage of this capacity and people's participation in dealing with administrative corruption has been favored by the officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran for several years. In this research, an attempt was made to identify the factors affecting the success of the whistle-blowing phenomenon with the meta-combination method and systematic study of 89 articles, including 74 ISI articles from 2000 to 2022 and 15 Persian articles found from internal sources. The final model obtained to recognize and understand the factors affecting the whistle-blowing phenomenon in Iran, in the form of five general categories of organizational factors, human factors, environmental factors, the nature of corruption and possible consequences, in order of importance based on the frequency of factors collected from the subject literature, is introduced. At the end, the factors promoting whistle-blowing in six main axes have been introduced for use in the process of public policy-making in the field of whistle-blowing and its successful implementation in Iran.
