Faculty research: Workplace justice vs. the bottom line

Drs. Darryl Rice and William Luse from Miami University (Ohio) and the University of La Verne published a series of studies linking workplace justice to supervisors’ emphasis of profit over employee safety and well-being, otherwise known as supervisor bottom-line mentality. Workplace justice reduced supervisor bottom-line mentality when organizations emphasized ethical behavior. This research suggests that organizations can reduce bottom-line mentality–and the problems it can cause–by emphasizing workplace justice.
