A Theory of Justice

Literature Review Organisational Justice Organisational justice theory refers to an employee’s perception of fairness regarding decisions, behaviours, and outcomes within an organisation (Greenberg, 1987). These perceptions may have a positive impact and encourage employees to strive for success. Alternatively, they can negatively affect work performance to the detriment of organisations. The central tenet underpinning organisational justice theory is the concept of fairness which dictates…

Distributive justice is the allocation of goods to benefit a society assigned by a basic social institution. Distributive justice is a problem that will never be outdated. It has found a way to be incorporated no matter the time period; from the issue of slavery in the 1860’s to the current situation pertaining to welfare programs. How should resources be allocated in a way that is just? What constitutes as just? John Rawls’ “A Theory of Justice” and Robert Nozick’s “Anarchy, State, and…

Hourani provides an alternative interpretation to Thrasymachus’s position on justice that is best characterized as deontological. Similarly to Kerferd and Nicholson, Hourani takes the position that Thrasymachus’s opening statement is designed to make an “impression of daring cynicism”; however, that justice is the advantage of the stronger is not meant to be taken as a literal definition of justice. Instead, Hourani advocates that Thrasymachus is talking about obedience to the law when…

research. This study draws upon justice theory to examine the influence of four demission of perceived justice on dashang intention, and then impact on actual dashang behavior. In addition, we investigate the difference between users by applying the big five theory, which helps empirically explore the distinction of different users’ perception of justice that such justice are effect their dashang behavior. Moreover, the combination of the justice theory and big five theory can provide us a…

labeling theory. This particular theory has harnessed quite the debate throughout its existence. There certainly are many theorists who endorse this theory, while others do not. In the present criminal justice system, there is a constant debate on whether labeling theory is beneficial, or whether it causes more deviant actions. However, labeling theory is still evolving, and will most certainly continue to evolve for some time to allow research to flourish. To further explain, labeling theory,…

appropriate question; at what point do inequalities of economic liberty and social justice become unjust? Three liberal approaches to justice attempt an answer. In his book Theory of Justice, John Rawls follows a high liberal tradition of thought, asserting that a distributive pattern of justice is most correct. On the other hand, in his book Anarchy, State and Utopia, Robert Nozick argues for an emergent approach to justice, rooted in libertarian philosophy. Lastly, John Tomasi, in his book…

Introduction Justice means to do just, to do what is right. Egalitarians believe that justice can only exist within the coordinates of equality. Whether, in reality, this equality is given to all at every time so that justice could actually be done? Equality does not only mean equal representation of both victim and accused before court or equal opportunity of being heard. Equality, for justice, also means that both the victim as well as accused have a fair chance of representing their side of…

Have you ever wanted everyone to be perfectly equal? How much freedom would you be willing to give away to achieve this? What is true equality?Can equality ever be achieved theoretically? Could near perfect equality be achieved in real life, without going to extremes? The short story, Harrison Bergeron, helps explore some of these questions in extremes ways. It tells a tale of a life where everyone is seemingly equal, but no one was happy. Is perfect equality really worth losing all pleasure of…

John Rawls' has two particular theories for an ethical decision making process. One being "that before a decision is made, decision makers figuratively pass through a veil of ignorance that strips away their rank, power, and status" (Guth & Marsh, 2012, p. 179). Meaning that they must examine a situation objectively and through a lens that covers all points of view, which will help them to become "a member of one of the affected publics instead of the decision maker" (Guth & Marsh, 2012, p. 179)…
