Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Procedural justice refers to the fairness of the processes used to make allocation decisions, such as the transparency of decision-making procedures, the ability to appeal a decision, and the consistency of decision-making over time. Distributive justice, on the other hand, refers to the fairness of the actual outcomes of the allocation decision (e.g. who gets what). Interactional justice and interpersonal justice refer to the fairness of the interpersonal treatment that individuals receive during the allocation decision-making process, and institutional justice refers to the fairness of the organization's policies and rules.
