Scenario 7-1: The life of a highly paid professional athlete would seem to be all positive, but evidence shows that many elite athletes are exposed to a range of workplace stressors that are both similar to and different from those experienced by those in more "typical" occupations.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The injustice in this scenario is related to the distribution of playing time among players. If an underperformer is not benched, it is likely that the rest of the team may feel that they are not being fairly compensated for their hard work and skill in comparison to the underperformer. This type of injustice is called distributive injustice.
