Abstract

FISCHER, Ronald. Organizational justice research: present perspectives and challenges. Rev. Psicol., Organ. Trab. [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.1, pp. 97-112. ISSN 1984-6657.

The article provides an overview of organizational justice research, particularly as it relates to cultural differences. Global migration and internationalization of business require a better understanding of how individuals perceive, construct, and resolve justice issues in organizations. I present four different ways to systematize justice perceptions which help in understanding the process by which individuals make justice-related evaluations. These four elements can be combined into an overall framework that pinpoints where cultural differences are likely to emerge. Focusing on distributive justice as a key area of cross-cultural research, I suggest a reconceptualization of equity theory that promises to advance both theoretical and practical work. I also highlight those areas where additional research is needed.

Keywords : Organizational Justice Research; Cultural Differences; Cross-Cultural Research.
