1 ABHIJEET K. VADERA Department of Business Administration 350 Wohlers Hall 1206 South Sixth Street Champaign, IL Phone: EDUCATIO Illinois, USA Doctoral Candidate (ABD) in Business Administration Expected 2010 Major: Organizational Behavior Minor: Psychology Dissertation Title: Comparing extrinsic and intrinsic processes of whistle-blowing: A multilevel, multi-method approach Dissertation Abstract: In this dissertation, I compare and contrast the extrinsic and the intrinsic processes of whistle-blowing. Specifically, I investigate if observers of wrongdoing blow the whistle because they expect positive external outcomes for their potential act of whistle-blowing, or because they are morally outraged upon witnessing the wrongdoing. I also consider three antecedents of whistle-blowing, namely, wrongdoing intensity, moral identity of the observer of wrongdoing and ethical leadership at the subunit-level, and examine whether different combinations of these factors affect whistle-blowing through either an extrinsic or intrinsic process. I will test my proposed framework using two methodologies: (a) Through surveys, followed by, (b) semi-structured interviews with some of the survey respondents. Data will be collected at a large cement manufacturing firm in India.

RESEARCH I PROGRESS Vadera, A. K. A multi-method examination of the antecedents and processes of positive deviance. Description: In this multi-method study, I synthesize across literatures to examine the antecedents and processes of all (or most) of the forms of positive deviance: Whistleblowing, creative performance, voice, taking charge, and organizational spontaneity. Status: Working paper, finalizing for submission Vadera, A. K. See evil, hear evil, but speak no evil: The relationship between wrongdoings and the whistle-blowing process. Description: In this conceptual paper, I argue that, to better understand the whistleblowing process, we need to look at two dimensions of wrongdoings intensity and relevance. Based on these features, I propose that whistle-blowing can be an extrinsic process or an intrinsic process or both. Status: Working paper, finalizing for submission Vadera, A. K., & Pratt, M. G.
