I need a discussion response to my peers post for my Performance Management class

Procedural justice refers to the process by which a decision is reached while distributive justice refers to the fairness of the decision (Milkovich, 2016, Pg. 85). For example, giving employees advance notice before laying them off, disciplining them or allowing them a voice into decision- making, are ways for supervisors to maintain procedural justice. Supervisors do have considerable control over procedural justice in their departments because they are familiar with the process, processes that allow employees the opportunity to seek clarification on feedback, change ratings that are perceived to be unfair and satisfaction with performance objectives and feedback. These processes avoid employees quitting because they believe their boss gave them an unfair evaluation.

            When designing a performance appraisal system or implementing a reorganization, asking employees for their input may be a good idea because it increases perceptions of fairness. Even when it is not possible to have employees participate, providing explanations is helpful in fostering procedural justice.

In distributive justice, the same consequences should obtain for all employees for the same action/infraction. For example, if two employees consistently show up late for work, it would be unfair to verbally warn one and the other gets written up. Distributive justice is synonymous with commitment as well as satisfaction with pay, promotion and performance evaluation.

Explanation / Answer

Apart from procedural and distributive justice, there exists a third type of organizational justice, proposed by Greenberg (1987). Interpersonal justice refers to how employees are treated when decisions in the organization are made, and the degree to which they are treated with respect and dignity when these decisions are communicated to them. Interpersonal justice comprises of two components - interpersonal and informational justice. The interpersonal justice involves dealing with employees sensitively while determining outcomes whereas informational justice deals with the explanations provided to people that convey information that justifies the use of a procedure.
