| Abstract: | A "litigation mentality" increasingly pervades today's workplace, as an ever wider variety of managerial decisions are the target of employee-initiated lawsuits. In this paper the authors identify different psychological factors that could explain why employees consider suing their employers. The authors argue that while the findings support organizational efforts to create more formalized policies and procedures that emphasize due process or procedural justice, such efforts may undermine the intended goal of ensuring fairness and reducing employee litigation. |
