Certainly, it would appear that being fair is a central interest among today's managers, concerned as they must be about providing, equal employment opportunities, adhering to fair labor practices and offering a fair day's pay for a fair day's work. Just as judges promote fairness in the legal system and references and umpires ensure that sporting events are played fairly, managers are responsible for upholding both their company's and society's views of fairness by guaranteeing the fair treatment of employees. Despite this, however it remains unclear what those responsible for the day to day management of organizations think constitutes fair behaviour. Not surprisingly just a legal scholats and philosophers cannot agree on what fairness really is in any absolute sense, social sceintists have relied on studying justice as it is perceived to be that is what is fair is in the eye of the beholder. In organizations, where the differing perpectives, interests and goals of supervisors and subordinates might offer each access to different sources of information (as well as different biases on the same information), uncertainties about what is perceived to be fair are likely to arise. As a result, we may expect that seasoned managers trying to be fair may learn to focus on what others believe to be fair, thereby cultivating an impression of fairness rather than striving toward any abstract sense of morality. Indeed, when interviewing executives on the topic of organizational justice, I learned that in business organizations fairness was often a matter of impression - management. As one senior vice - president of a fortune 500 firm confided in me, "What's fair is whatever the workers think is fair. My job is to convince them that what's good for the company is fair for them as individuals.
