| Summary: | Scholars, educators, journalists, corporate persons and others believe that millennials are modern-day whistle-blowers (Abdul Aziz & Abdul Latiff, 2019). Why? Do they have superpowers to detect wrongdoings? The answer is not about the powers. The answer is that the millennials have certain characteristics for becoming whistle-blowers (Campos, 2019; Scholar & Gaudet, 2016). The characteristics have already been embedded and appropriate actions. Thus, with such characteristics, it may easy for such millennials to put whistle-blowing into action. Before explaining further on the above matter, first, who are millennials? Millennials are the modern-day generation or Generation Y who dominate the workforce today (Puspanathan et al., 2017). On the other hand, whistle-blowers are individuals who inform on another individuals or organizations regarded as engaging in unlawful or immoral activities (Ab Ghani, 2013). Both can be connected since millennials have the said characteristics that make them suited for whistle-blowing. More precisely, millennials are educated, narcissistic and altruistic and thus, these attributes make them more likely to be involved in whistle-blowing action. (Markowitz, 2013). |
