Affirmative action programs: an organizational justice perspective

Article Abstract:

Studies on how employees view the fairness of Affirmative Action Programs (AAPs) show that their perceptions have a significant impact on employees' attitudes and behaviors. Employees who believe in the equal distribution of rewards are more amenable to integration and will likely exhibit positive behavior. However, employees will not accept integration if they feel that fairness is being compromised and will resort to negative reactions.
