AB - People’s perception and attitude towards whistle-blowing is diverse. The purpose of this study is an in-depth exploration of such diverse perceptions on whistle-blowing and whistle-blowers. In order to reveal diverse perceptions hidden behind simple positive or negative attitude towards whistle-blowing, Q-methodology is applied. The result shows four different perception types on whistle-blowing: desirable citizen, inside-solution seeker, functionalist and organizational misfit. Each perception type is independent from others and shows different attitude on whether it sees whistle-blowing positively or negatively and whether whistle-blowing is a national issue or an inside problem of an organization. The result indicates that an opinion on whether whistle-blowing is a national issue or not plays an important role in making diverse opinions on whistle-blowing. In terms of policy-making, this study shows the necessity of a clear division between problems that must be dealt within the organization and those needed governmental intervention.
