Treating People Fairly: The Feeling that Underlies the Trends

Abstract

The phenomena of “Quiet Quitting” and the “Great Resignation” reflect feelings of underappreciation and a lack of a respect at work. These are indicators of interpersonal injustice in the workplace, which can be ameliorated via the promotion of inclusive, safe, and supportive work climates. Individual employees and managers can engage in specific actions to promote feelings of interpersonal fairness at work in order to mitigate against these negative workplace trends.
