The procedures are applied consistently across time and other persons.(2) Bias suppression. The procedures are applied by a person who has no vested interest in the outcome and no prior prejudices regarding the individual.(3) Information accuracy. The procedure is based on information that is perceived to be true.(4) Correctability. The procedure has built-in safeguards that allow one to appeal mistakes or bad decisions(5) Representativeness. The procedure is informed by the concerns of all groups or stakeholders (co-workers, customers, owners) affected by the decision, including the individual being dismissed.(6) Ethicality. The procedure is consistent with prevailing moral standards as they pertain to issues like invasion of privacy or deception.10-7 Determinants of Interactional JusticeProgressive Discipline10-810-9Example of Progressive Discipline ProgramOFFENSEFREQUENCY ORGANIZATIONAL RESPONSE DOCUMENTATIONFirst offense Unofficial verbal warning Witness presentSecond Official written warning Document filedThird Second official warning, with threat of temporary suspension Document filedFourth Temporary suspension and “last chance notification Document filedFifth Termination with right to go to Arbitration Document filedOutplacement CounselingHelps displaced employees manage the transition from one job to another.Services such as job search support, résumé critiques, job interviewing training and networking opportunities may be provided in-house or through an outside source.Aimed at helping people realize that other opportunities exist.10-1010-11Voluntary TurnoverWhy do people leave organizations?10-12Managing Voluntary Turnover – Job WithdrawalProgression of Withdrawal Theory-dissatisfied individuals enact a set of behaviors in succession to avoid their work situation.1. behavior change2. physical job withdraw3. psychological job withdrawWithdrawal behaviors are related to one another, and partially caused by job dissatisfaction.10-13Behavior ChangeAn employee's first response to dissatisfaction would be to try to change conditions that generate dissatisfaction.When employees are unionized, dissatisfaction leads to increased grievances.Employees sometimes initiate change through whistle-blowing-making grievances public by going to the media or government.10-14Physical WithdrawalWays a dissatisfied worker can physically withdraw from the organization:1.
