Bilgi Uçurma: Kavram ve Kuramsal Temeller

Abstract

Bilgi uçurma, son dönemde yönetim bilimi alanyazınında sıklıkla tartışılan bir kavramdır. Bilgi uçurma, örgüt içinde etik değerler ve yasalarla çelişebilen durumların bildirilmesi davranışıdır. Genel olarak, yürürlükteki yasalara ve toplumca kabul edilmiş etik değer yargıları ve ilkelere aykırı ve gayrimeşru eylem ve davranışları fark eden örgüt çalışanının, söz konusu eylem ve davranışlardan etkilenmiş olabilecek veya bu eylem ve davranışları engelleyebilecek örgüt ya da kişilere yaptığı bilinçli duyuru durumu bilgi uçurma (whistleblowing) olarak ifade edilmektedir. Son dönemde giderek önemini arttıran bilgi uçurma kavramının kuramsal temellerine odaklanan bu çalışmada, bilgi uçurma kavramı ve bu kavramın farklı örgüt kuramları ile ilişkisi analiz edilmiştir. Ayrıca, bu çalışma bilgi uçurma kavramına ilişkin alanyazında eksikliği hissedilen noktalara yoğunlaşmaktadır.
