Because it is difficult to study their efficacy in the field, scientific evidence on their performance is rare. This is problematic, because these systems bind substantial resources and might generate the erroneous impression of compliance in a company in which misconduct is prevalent. We therefore suggest a versatilely extendable experimental workhorse that allows the systematic study of internal whistleblowing systems in the lab. As a first step, we tested the efficacy of whistleblowing systems if internal punishment for misconduct is mild and hesitant which is usually the case in practice, as several fraud surveys confirm. Our results show that under these conditions almost nobody blew the whistle, and misconduct occurred even more frequently with than without a whistleblowing system. 2023-05-17T01:53:21Z 2023-05-17T01:53:21Z 2023 Book https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11573-023-01144-w https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/8468 en application/pdf Springer
