Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Organizational justice theory is the study of employees' perceptions of fairness in organizational practices such as distribution of rewards, decision-making procedures, and resource allocation. It is concerned with making decisions that are perceived as fair by employees. Equity theory is related to the concept of perceived fairness, but it specifically focuses on the individual's perception of the fairness of their own outcomes relative to their inputs compared to others. Perceptual justice theory is not a recognized theory in the field of organizational behavior. Expectancy theory is concerned with the relationship between effort, performance, and outcomes, and is not directly related to fairness perceptions.
