Usually neither. Whistleblowing is most commonly beneficial to the customers, or is in the Public Interest.
Whistle Blowing is a concept where an employee within the organization informs relevant function regarding non or mis following of a policy or a threat which could endanger the organization, its function or policy.
Primarily, this mechanism focuses on highlighting those issues which are a threat to the organization. Thus primarily this mechanism will be of a greater benefit to the organization.
