摘要:
The purpose of Experiment 1 was to examine the relative effect of 2 types of managerial accounts-a causal account, in which the decision maker minimizes personal responsibility, and an ideological account, in which the decision maker assumes responsibility and provides a justification-on White male observers' perceptions of interactional fairness following a sex-based promotion decision. Results showed that, compared with either the causal account or a control condition, men perceived significantly more interactional fairness in the ideological account condition. In Experiment 2, the justification and responsibility dimensions that were intentionally confounded in the ideological account in Experiment 1 were separated. Results showed that providing an adequate justification was both necessary and sufficient to influence perceptions of interactional fairness.
