Abstracts
Most of the people and governments around the world will agree with the policy that anti-corruption is not only an excellent mean to prevent public funds from wasting, but also a significant method to promote the efficiency in administrative operations, and an important way to advance the legitimacy for the existing regime. However, corruption of the government has a trait of highly dark figure. It means only a small percentage of corruptions are discovered, while most of the corruptions are not known. So, it is very important for a government to encourage civil servants to whistle blow corruption from the inside. However, the critical point for inducing civil servants to expose corruption is if the government offers good and enough rewards to whistle blowers. The second one is if the government provides the sufficient protections to ensure the safety of life and human rights for him/her and their family. The first part of this article intends to analyze the legal enactments for corruption whistle-blowing. The second part attempts to express the defects of these enactments in terms of Reinforcement Theory. The third part recommends some suggestions for the government to reform the legal enactments to strengthen the willingness of civil service to whistle blow corruption in the government.
