To learn about how workers respond to various types of injustices they may experience in the workplace, scientists have found it useful to use rating scales like the one shown. By completing this scale, you will gain some useful insight into your own feelings about the fairness experienced in the organization in which you work.

Questions for Discussion 

1. With respect to what particular type of fairness did you score highest? What specific experiences contributed to this assessment?
2. With respect to what particular type of fairness did you score lowest? What specific experiences contributed to this assessment?
3. What kinds of problems resulted from any violations of any type of organizational justice you may have experienced? What could have been done to avoid these violations?
