Equity in the workplace

Executive summary
Equity in the workplace is important for the organization to continue performing because it affects employee morale and behavior. Informational justice is concerned with the availability of truthful and adequate information for the employees when the management makes a decision affecting the
wellbeing of the employees. When the employees perceive low informational justice, they harbor negative attitudes toward the organization and are likely to negative in workplace deviance. High informational justice increases the employees trust and commitment to the organization. All processes with the organization, including the daily operation and the less common events, such as layoff must have the informational justice component. This ensures the employees have the information necessary to understand why the management makes the decision they make. Some activities in the organization requiring the informational justice component include recruiting, reward, dispute resolution, downsizing, and performance appraisals.
