Abstract: | This article presents a cognitive model, which contends that perceptions of injustice are necessary but not sufficient to trigger aggressive behaviours in the workplace. Retaliatory actions following perceived injustices are embedded in a network of personal values, blame attribution, opportunities to carry out the aggressive action, probability of retaliation from the target or a third party, and the advantages incurred by such actions. Three constructs, injustice threshold, repertoire of perceived injustices and psychological suspended sentence, are developed to explain individual reactions to perceived injustices. |
