| Tiivistelmä: | The fairness of organizations has been a consistent concern of management thinkers. Based on a review of the period from 1900 to 1965, it is indicated that management theorists primarily conceptualized organizational justice (here as: o-j.) in utilitarian (here as: utln.) terms, although each theory emphasized distributive and procedural justice to different degrees. There is clearly a need for contemporary scholars to consider non-economic rationales for o-j. Yet, the willingness of earlier scholars to make utln. arguments about o-j. and productive efficiency helped legitimize the idea of fairness in organizations as a value arbiter. Researchers interested in o-j. should take a historical perspective in considering how management theory includes consideration of justice-related concerns. |
