The involvement of Anthony in the evaluation process increased the perception of procedural justice within Anthony.
Key Takeaway: Procedural justice is when an individual accepts the outcome of a decision based on the process that was used to reach the decision - even if the outcome is unfavorable for the individual. Distributive justices, on the other hand, indicates a sense that the individual thought that the outcome of the decision was fair, regardless of the means used to achieve that outcome.
