Organizational Justice during Strategic Change
The purpose of Organizational Justice during Strategic Change is to examine how an organizational justice framework can be used to explore employees’ perceptions of trust, fairness, and the management of transformation during a period of strategic change. The authors’ research findings from a detailed case study of employee interviews, conducted in a large privately-owned media organization, indicated employees who experience trust and positive feelings regarding their treatment within the organization are willing to become involved in the change process. They adopt positive working relationships with their colleagues and managers thus avoiding the perceptions of distrust and unfairness that can lead to resistance and negative behaviours.
