Abstract: The paper presents the phenomenon of whistle blowing in the public sector and tries to explain its complexity. The concept has different significance in various countries, some of them perceive the phenomenon and whistle blowers as moral, and others have an opposite image. The article will present the concept, the regulation and procedures from different countries, in order to protect those involved, with a focus on Romanian case. We also analyzed the connection between encouraging or discouraging whistle blowing and the level of ethics in a public institution. There are a lot of questions in the professional literature we tried to give an answer to, making an exploratory research. We presented in the paper our perspective regarding this phenomenon and how it should be integrated in the management of a company or public institution, ensuring a higher control on it.
