    abstract = {The study proposes to explore the attitudes of employees toward 
  the Protected Disclosures Act (2000) in providing protection to whistleblowers. 
  It seeks to examine the extent to which employees are encouraged to blow the 
  whistle at higher education institutions despite legislation which protects 
  disclosures made in good faith. The assessment is conducted in the light of 
  empirical research conducted at a higher education institution, against literature 
  gleaned on whistleblower legislation and its impact on good governance. The 
  research was limited to the Durban University of Technology a higher education 
  institution in South Africa and may not produce the same findings at other similar 
  higher education institutions. A conceptual framework informed by legislation, 
  policy and procedures and organizational culture was used to determine employee 
  perceptions of whistleblower protection within higher education institutions. 
  In the light of this research, recommendations are made to promote a culture 
  of whistleblowing.}
