This book analyzes the impact of culture on employee justice
judgments and reactions to perceptions of fairness and unfairness.
I start this book with the following two questions. Why is a book
on culture and organizational justice needed? What does such a book
add to the extant literature on organizational justice, especially,
after the publication of the landmark work of Colquitt and
Greenberg (2005), Handbook of Organizational Justice? Although
there are no easy answers to these questions, in the following
lines, I explain the reasons why a book on culture and justice is
not only needed but also timely. There are at least three reasons
for which a book on culture and organizational justice is needed.
First, a book on culture and organizational justice is needed
because ""there are indications that culture exerts very important
and wide-ranging effects on justice behavior including even
generally shaping the likelihood that individuals will experience
feelings of injustice"" (James, 1993, p. 22). Second, globalization
has led to the interrelatedness of world economies.Thus, most
organizations not only operate in several countries, but they also
employ people from different nationalities and cultural
backgrounds. The resulting challenge is to find new ways of
managing a culturally diverse workforce. Third, justice is inherent
to any organized social group. As examples of social systems,
organizations are arenas of justice concerns because their members
compete for limited resources. The resources for which they compete
include tangibles, such as money but also intangibles, such as
status, power, and prestige (e.g., Tajfel & Turner, 1979;
Turner, 1985). In the following lines, I elaborate on the three
reasons why a book on culture and organizational justice is needed
and timely.
