“…The fear of losing one's job and social exclusion is one of the critical issues in the discussion on whistleblowing. It is evident among Polish and Ukrainian respondents, as well as in the literature dealing with the issue (Shostko, 2020;Aziz, 2021;Kun-Buczko, 2021). The Ukrainian literature adds that the lack of positive and effective resultsof whistleblower activity is a serious problem for those wishing to take corrective action in an organisation (Khalymon et al, 2020).…”

Objective The aim of the article is to verify the concept of whistleblowing, taking into account the literature on the subject and the EU Directive 2019/1937 and its understanding by Polish and Ukrainian respondents, i.e. those who belong to the EU and those who aspire to it and have grown up in different cultures. Methodology The research analysed literature in English and used qualitative methods in the form of an in-depth individual interview with Polish and Ukrainian managers. Findings The research revealed that the understanding of whistleblowing in EU Directive 2019/1937 reflects years of discussion and goes beyond the original understanding of the term. Respondents understand the advantages and drawbacks of internal and external whistleblowing, the anonymity of the whistleblower and their position in the organisation. Originality/Value The article clarifies the concept of a whistleblower and explains the problems with its interpretation and implementation, allowing for further discussion on its topic in a reliable way. The understanding of whistleblowing contained in the EU Directive and the respondents’ concerns are relevant to the implementation of the Directive, especially in areas that concern the whistleblower’s reliability and anonymity. Recommendations Further research should be conducted among EU members and candidates for EU structures. Quantitative research will determine the acceptance of the issue and indicate the difficulties of implementation. Further research should focus on the reliability of non-employed whistleblowers and their anonymity.
