Organizational justice is a well-established field of study in work and organizational psychology. Much research has examined both its antecedents and its consequences, confirming the importance of fair treatment for employees and for organizational effectiveness. Employee well-being, encompassing such concepts as satisfaction, stress, and emotions at work, is also an important topic for organizational researchers, with implications of applied importance. This seminar will survey the concepts of organizational justice and well-being, showing the important links between the two and emphasizing how workplace justice-based interventions can play a role in improving well-being at work.

Master the concepts of organizational justice, understanding the development of perceptions of fairness and their implications for organizational life. Understand how fairness perceptions are related to emotions, both negative and positive, and their importance for well-being at work. Be able to propose organizational interventions applying the concepts studied in order to improve organizational life.
