A Model of Fair Process and Its Limits

摘要：

Fair Process research has shown that people care not only about outcomes,but also about the process that produces these outcomes.For a decision process to be seen as fair,the people a ected must have the opportunity to give input and possibly to in uence the decision,and the decision process and rationale must be transparent and clear.Existing research has shown empirically that fair process enhances both employee motivation and performance in execution.However,work to date has not addressed why fair process is so often violated in practice and why in these instances the hoped for bene ts not pursued.This paper breaks new ground by analytically examining the subtle trade-o s involved:We develop a model of fair process in a principal-agent setting,rooted in psychological preferences for autonomy and fairness.We show that indeed fair process will not always be used,and why the hoped-for bene ts may be insu cient to convince management to use fair process.
