Findings from the study
Although distributive, procedural, and interactional justice form the backbone of fairness in the workplace, issues relating to power and bias emerged as critical factors in the way Australian accountants come to terms with organisational justice issues. Despite the common interpretation of organisational justice as being skewed towards unfairness, a somewhat unexpected but pleasing viewpoint expressed by most participants in this study who had chosen a career in public practice was that they felt the profession, as a whole, was 'pretty fair'.
