TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that the degree of stealing was moderated by the validity of the information given (high valid information reduced stealing more than low valid information) and the level of interpersonal sensitivity.

TL;DR: A survey of organizational journals for 1978-1988 reveals that role playing was used in 11.55 percent of the published studies as discussed by the authors. But role playing studies are conducted to learn attitudes and behaviors in organizational contexts and to learn about basic psychological contexts, and they differ along three dimensions: subjects' level of involvement, the role being played, and the degree of response specificity provided.

TL;DR: The state of the science regarding the connection between organizational justice and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) as reflected by the articles included in this issue is discussed in this paper, where various conceptual issues such as the willingness of people to express inequity distress by withholding OCB, the relative importance of procedural justice compared to distributive justice as a determinant of OCB and the extent to which a reduction in OCB may reflect a desire to influence another individual, or the organization in general.
Abstract: The present article discusses the state of the science regarding the connection between organizational justice and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) as reflected by the articles included in this issue. The research described in these articles reaches a conclusion in need of further elaboration—namely, that people will behave altruistically toward the oroganizations in which they work when they believe those organizations have treated them fairly. Various conceptual issues are discussed. These include: the willingness of people to express inequity distress by withholding OCB, the relative importance of procedural justice compared to distributive justice as a determinant of OCB (especially the social aspects of procedural justice), and the extent to which a reduction in OCB may reflect a desire to influence another individual, or the organization in general. A variety of methodological issues are also discussed. In this connection, it is suggested that correlational, questionnaire measures be supplemented by open-ended interview studies as well as laboratory investigations. Moreover, if questionnaires continue to be used, then it is recommended that attempts be made to improve the validity of both measures of justice and OCB.

TL;DR: The field of organizational justice is characterized as being in its intellectual adolescence as discussed by the authors, and some signs of scientific maturity are noted, such as increased attention to the connections between organizational justice and various organizational processes, expanded efforts toward conceptual refinement, and greater reliance on research conducted in natural settings.
Abstract: To highlight the advances and limitations in the study of organizational justice as reflected by the articles in this issue, the field is characterized as being in its intellectual adolescence. Following this analogy, some signs of scientific maturity are noted. Among these are (a) increased attention to the connections between organizational justice and various organizational processes, (b) expanded efforts toward conceptual refinement, and (c) greater reliance on research conducted in natural settings. At the same time, the adolescent state of the field is also marked by its intellectual awkwardness and immaturity. Indications of this include (a) the absence of guiding theory, (b) an underdeveloped research agenda, and (c) an overreliance on the use of ad hoc measurements. Based on these limitations, suggestions are made for ways of nurturing the field's development. The article concludes with an optimistic vision of tomorrow's field of organizational justice.
