3. Distributive Justice reflects the employees’ perceptions regarding the extent to which the rewards that they receive (e.g., pay, opportunities to advance, etc.) is adequate given their level of effort and work. A sample question is “do the rewards in your division reflect the effort that division members put into their work.”

4. Informational justice refers to whether or not an employee has access to the information he/she needs. This type of justice indicates that transparency-that is, supervisors being honest and open with employees-is imperative to an employee’s sense of justice in the workplace. A sample question is “has the authority figure who determines rewards for your division explained procedures thoroughly.”
