Leading with Fairness
Dr. Lindsey Greco — Assistant Professor of Management in the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University
When employees perceive that they are being treated unfairly by leaders, they are likely to respond in ways that are unfavorable for the leader and organization. Studies have shown that employees respond to leader unfairness by reducing job satisfaction, intending to leave the organization, reducing job performance, and engaging in counterproductive work behaviors. Although it makes intuitive sense that employees will respond unfavorably to leader unfairness, leaders may not be aware of when they are behaving unfairly.
Leading with Fairness reviews four types of fairness that are important to employees: • Outcome fairness • Process fairness
• Interpersonal fairness • Informational fairness
Additionally, the presentation discusses why employees care about each form of (un)fairness. Dr. Greco will provide recommendations for leading with fairness and share how employees respond unfavorably when they observe their leaders treating third parties unfairly. It is in a leader’s best interest to monitor the level of fairness he or she exhibits to all constituents. This seminar is sponsored by the Department of Management and the Center for Executive and Professional Development in the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University.
