Abstract
Whistleblowers with their general conceptual assessment, are essential in exposing corporate dishonesty, fraud, and unethical behavior, which promotes accountability and openness inside organizations. Hence, in this master's thesis, I will examine the link between whistleblower regulation and market participants’ motivations to maximize efficiency. My research also examines possible trade-offs between whistleblower protection and the economic effectiveness of markets through a comparative examination of current whistleblower policies across several countries. To determine the primary variables impacting market player incentives, the study technique also comprises an in-depth assessment of legal frameworks and case studies, such as German, EU, and U.S. regulations. The perceived influence of whistleblower laws on market behavior is clarified through surveys and statistics with pertinent parties, such as whistleblowers, business executives, regulators, and legal experts, which we will meet in the following chapters. The results of this study add to the body of knowledge by illuminating the intricate interactions between whistleblower protection and market effectiveness. The research attempts to find best practices and possible areas for development in whistleblower laws 2 to improve both accountability and economic results. It does this by analyzing various regulatory measures. The thesis findings have important ramifications for legislators, regulators, and business professionals trying to balance whistleblower protection with market efficiency. To create whistleblower frameworks that encourage ethical corporate behavior while enhancing overall economic performance, it is important to understand how regulatory actions might affect the behavior of market participants.
