Unprofessional behavior can have a detrimental effect on coworkers, culture, and patient safety. This qualitative study presents perspectives of middle managers in hospitals that implemented a program allowing and encouraging workers to report unprofessional, as well as positive, behavior. Themes included staying silent but active (e.g., avoiding the unprofessional colleague), history and hierarchy, and double-edged swords (e.g., pros and cons of anonymous reporting).
