Workplace Justice: The Sixth Element of Employee Motivation
According to Krüger and Rootman, to create a work environment conducive to employee motivation, companies must have comprehensive policies and systems that “ensure a clear understanding and equitable treatment of employees.” They were referring to “compensation systems, employee performance systems, equity systems, and organizational policies and procedures.” [ 2]
The Three Drivers of Workplace Fairness
Workplace fairness has been the subject of much organizational justice research and hinges on three critical drivers: Distributive justice – Fairness in how you distribute outcomes, rights, and resources. Employees need to feel that all distribution is fair and equitable. Procedural justice – Fairness and transparency in the policies, procedures, and processes you use to make decisions. This includes your decisions about the distribution of outcomes, rights, and resources.
