Whistle-blowers,who report what they see as wrongdoing to outside agencies,often receive organizational rewards and recognition.

Whistle-blowers often face retaliation and negative consequences for reporting wrongdoing, such as losing their job or being ostracized by colleagues. While there are laws in place to protect whistle-blowers from retaliation, they are not always enforced and can be difficult to navigate. Therefore, it is unlikely that whistle-blowers receive organizational rewards and recognition.
