Employee reporting is a concept which gained increasing popularity in Europe from the late 1970's, and a similar trend appears to be emerging in South Africa. This growth highlighted the paucity of research in this area, particularly in the South African context. This study therefore undertook to conduct a detailed review of prior research and existing theories of employee reporting. Based on the outcome of the review, a research design was constructed, to test, on an exploratory basis, the nature and extent of the demand for information amongst employees at a company in the Western Cape. The results indicated that a strong demand for information does exist, and that this demand is affected by a number of considerations, most notably the job level, age and education. In this respect, the results tended to confirm the findings of prior research elsewhere. It was however also noted, that the employees' choices and decisions appeared to be influenced by the socio - political conditions in South Africa, which resulted in employees attaching greater importance to their employer's involvement in society than has been the case in studies elsewhere. 2015-11-13T13:00:52Z 2015-11-13T13:00:52Z 1993 Master Thesis Masters MCom http://hdl.handle.net/11427/14947 eng application/pdf College of Accounting Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town |
