Abstract: | There is extensive and persuasive documentation that the gender of an individual may bias a wide variety of managerial decisions. Potential differences in workplace justice as a function of the "defendent's" gender, however, have received little attention in organizational studies, and remain untested outside laboratory protocol. This study of 361 workplace justice proceedings in a field setting strongly suggests that men and women receive substantially different outcomes. These results are invariant across differences in the severity and viability of the contested issues. |
