This eighth volume in the Research in Social Issues in Management
series explores a variety of social relations to expand our thinking
about organizational justice, which is fundamentally based on
relationships between organizational authorities and the employees of
the organizations. These relationships also emphasize the roles of
various actors and suggest fairness perspectives other than that of
subordinates’ perceptions of the treatment received from their
superiors. The 10 chapters of the volume are divided into two major
sections plus a conclusion. The first section presents five chapters
that bring new theoretical perspectives to bear on justice
considerations. Topics treated throughout this section include
conflicting perspectives on justice, psychological distance, greed,
and punishment. The second section places emphasis on leaders’ or
managers’ perspectives of justice, going back to some of the initial
proactive roots of justice rather than on what has become the more
traditional focus, that of subordinate perceptions or reactive
justice. In the contributions comprising this section, leaders’
personalities, their motives, and their position as both superiors of
some employees and subordinates of their own superiors are examined to
provide new perspectives on the leadership role in justice matters.
The concluding chapter, by Brockner and Carter, comments on the
collection of chapters and proposes extensions and alternative
perspectives for consideration. This commentary chapter suggests that
the volume surfs a fifth wave in the history of justice research as
these chapters all examine justice as a dependent variable influenced
by numerous factors.
