20.500.12556/DKUM-98264 Socialni kapital in žvižgaštvo: vloga zunanjih mentorjev Social capital and whistleblowing: the role of external mentors V magistrskem delu smo obravnavali socialni kapital, ki ga lahko opredelimo kot skupek socialnih odnosov, omrežij, zaupanja in norm recipročnosti, ki posameznikom in skupinam omogočajo dostop do virov, informacij ter podpore. Ugotovili smo da je razumevanje socialnega kapitala tesno povezano z delom treh vplivnih teoretikov: Pierrea Bourdieuja, Jamesa S. Coleman in Robert D. Putnama. Njihovi prispevki so pomembno oblikovali razumevanje socialnega kapitala ter njegovo uporabo v sodobnih družboslovnih raziskavah. Raziskovali smo tudi pojem žvižgaštvo, ki predstavlja namerno, prostovoljno, premišljeno in neobvezno obliko razkritja nepravilnosti. Žvižgaštvo ni enoten pojav, temveč se lahko pojavlja v različnih oblikah glede na način razkritja informacij. Raziskovalci najpogosteje razlikujejo med notranjim (internal) in zunanjim (external) žvižgaštvom. Raziskave so pokazale, da je žvižgač v organizacijskem okolju pogosto zaznan kot nelojalen posameznik, zaradi česar je žvižgaštvo lahko potisnjeno na rob ali celo sankcionirano, kar spodbuja pojav etične tišine V sklopu magistrske naloge pa smo preučili, če in kako vpliva zunanji mentor na oba osrednja pojma. Pri opredelitvi pojma zunanjega mentorja je pomembno razlikovati mentorstvo od drugih oblik profesionalne podpore, kot sta svetovanje ali formalni nadzor. Medtem ko svetovalci običajno ponujajo specifične strokovne nasvete za reševanje posameznih problemov, mentorstvo vključuje širši in dolgoročnejši odnos, ki zajema tako strokovni kot osebni razvoj posameznika. Prav tako se mentorstvo razlikuje od nadzornega odnosa, saj mentor nima formalne avtoritete nad mentorirancem in ne sodeluje pri njegovem formalnem ocenjevanju ali napredovanju. Skozi intervjuje, ki smo jih opravili s posamezniki, ki imajo izkušnje pri razkrivanju nepravilnosti, smo ugotovili da zunanji mentorji posameznikom omogočajo dostop do virov, informacij in podpornih mehanizmov, ki jih znotraj lastne organizacije pogosto nimajo na voljo, kar dodatno potrjuje njihovo vlogo nosilcev socialnega kapitala. In our master's thesis, we discussed social capital, which can be defined as a set of social relationships, networks, trust and norms of reciprocity that enable individuals and groups to access resources, information and support. We found that the understanding of social capital is closely related to the work of three influential theorists: Pierre Bourdieu, James S. Coleman and Robert D. Putnam. Their contributions have significantly shaped the understanding of social capital and its use in contemporary social science research. We also explored the concept of whistleblowing, which represents a deliberate, voluntary, deliberate and optional form of revealing irregularities. Whistleblowing is not a uniform phenomenon, but can occur in different forms depending on the way information is disclosed. Researchers most often distinguish between internal and external whistleblowing. Research has shown that a whistleblower is often perceived as a disloyal individual in an organizational environment, which can result in whistleblowing being marginalized or even sanctioned, which encourages ethical silence As part of our master's thesis, we examined whether and how an external mentor influences both central concepts. When defining the concept of an external mentor, it is important to distinguish mentoring from other forms of professional support, such as consulting or formal supervision. While consultants usually offer specific professional advice to solve individual problems, mentoring involves a broader and longer-term relationship that encompasses both the professional and personal development of the individual. Mentoring also differs from a supervisory relationship, as the mentor does not have formal authority over the mentee and does not participate in their formal evaluation or promotion. Through interviews we conducted with individuals who have experience in revealing irregularities, we found that external mentors provide individuals with access to resources, information and support mechanisms that are often unavailable to them within their own organization, which further confirms their role as bearers of social capital. socialni kapital žvižgaštvo zunanji mentor ovire pri žvižgaštvu podpora social capital whistleblowing external mentor barriers to whistleblowing support true true false V.
