Abstract: The understanding of loyalty concept between employer and employee has changed in recent years. While, priorly, mainstream idea was based on employer?s loyalty to his/her employer unquestioningly, nowadays this idea changes to a new understanding emphasize employer?s responsibility to public, too. This change comes with birth of a new organization behavior concept and its legitimacy arguments: ?Whistleblowing?. Whistleblowing means disclosure of in organization wrong doings to concerned authorities. In managerial science, detailed studies have been conducted on whistleblowing. Most of them seek what whistleblowing is (or is not), how it is/should be processed. Beside these subjects, whistleblowing is concerned with legal issues. After whistleblowing action, whistleblowers can be exposed to mobbing, retaliation, quitting etc. treatments. Countries pass some laws to protect whistleblowers from that kind of treatments to maintain whistleblowing actions. While some whistleblowers gain big awards make them rich thanks to these laws, others can get nothing but cruel treatments, also even get fired by their organization.In this paper, various whistleblowing cases ? increased in past two decades ? will be analyzed comparatively from the point of outcomes for whistleblowers and organizations as well as other whistleblowing related issues.
