Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sally perceives a lack of interactional justice, which refers to the degree to which people are treated with politeness, dignity, and respect by authorities or third parties involved in executing procedures or determining outcomes. Announcing layoffs in front of all employees without consideration for their feelings or privacy can be seen as disrespectful and insensitive, thus lacking in interactional justice.
