A growing interest among social scientists on the topic of organizational justice, defined as people’s perception of fairness in organizations, motivated Greenberg (business ethics & organizational behavior, Ohio State U.) and Colquitt (management, U. of Florida) to assemble this handbook. It is intended to be a comprehensive reference to the current state of literature about organizational justice, and is written for professors, graduate students, and professionals. Articles written by over 35 scholars examine the history of organizational justice, procedural & distributive justice; processes, effects, and applications of justice; and include issues of stress, trust, morality, discrimination & prejudice, effects across cultures, outcome favorability, and interactional justice. Includes separate author & subject indexes. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
