"The Handbook of Organizational Justice"

Paper Summary:

The paper relates that "The Handbook of Organizational Justice" strives to provide a more concrete definition of organizational justice for managers and management theorists alike. The paper summarizes the chapters and shows how the book underlines the contentious nature of core managerial concepts, without attempting to clarify them. The paper points out the book's weaknesses but adds that the book still functions as a useful introduction to organizational justice.

From the Paper:

"The editors of the Handbook of Organizational Justice, Gerald S. Greenberg & Jason Colquitt, are themselves leading writers in the field. They bring together the leading scholars of organizational theory to author self-enclosed chapters that examine major issues of concern, as well as target areas of future debate. They authors provide a framework and background, without striving to provide a coherent, linear point of view. To do so would be impossible in a handbook encompassing twenty chapters, an introduction and conclusion, almost all of which are authored by different scholars. The chapters are self-enclosed, to make it easier to target the reader or researcher's major area of interest."
