ABSTRACT
Organizational justice scholarship has consisted of four waves examining the consequences of various forms of fairness (e.g., distributive, procedural, and interactional; Colquitt et al., 2005) as well as a more recent fifth wave which has examined the antecedents of organization members’ fairness beliefs and behaviors (Brockner et al., 2015). Whereas some of these more traditional types of justice studies may have plateaued, we believe that the study of justice in the workplace is alive and well and living elsewhere. That “elsewhere” consists of a host of literatures in organizational psychology that are important in their own right and that simultaneously offer empirical and conceptual extensions to scholarly work in organizational justice. We discuss these literatures, which include meritocracy, privilege, employee voice and silence, abusive supervision, workplace incivility, behavioral ethics, and system justification. Emerging themes in these areas are discussed, as are suggestions for future research.
