What is organizational justice?

Organizational justice refers to the perception of fairness within an organization, which encompasses how employees view the allocation of resources, the processes used to make decisions, and the treatment they receive from their peers and supervisors. This concept captures aspects such as distributive justice (fairness of outcomes), procedural justice (fairness of processes), and interactional justice (fairness of interpersonal interactions). When employees perceive high levels of organizational justice, it can lead to increased job satisfaction, commitment, and overall positive workplace outcomes.

In contrast, other choices focus on different aspects of organizational structure or governance that do not directly address perceptions of fairness. For instance, a framework for enforcing discipline, a standard for measuring performance, or rules governing employee conduct may influence organizational dynamics, but they do not encapsulate the essence of fairness perception that characterizes organizational justice.
