Content: Different Types of Organizational Justice
Generally speaking, judgments of fairness can be said to have three targets: Outcomes: distributive justice
Allocation processes: procedural justice
Interpersonal treatment: interactional justice
Distributive Justice
Research suggests that distributive justice is distinct from outcome favorability. Although these two variables are correlated, the latter is an appraisal of personal benefit, whereas the former concerns moral appropriateness. Individuals decide whether a given allocation decision is fair by examining the actual result in light of some idealized standard. Three standards or allocation rules have been most widely discussed: equity (allocations based on contributions or performance), equality (equivalent allocations for all), and need (allocations based on demonstrable hardship). Each of these rules may engender a sense of distributive justice for some people under some circumstances.
