My research is concerned with authority dynamics within organized groups. In particular, I have studied the role judgments about the fairness of outcomes and the justice of procedures play in shaping people's reactions to decisions made by authorities. My work demonstrates that the legitimacy of authorities is strongly linked to judgments about their fairness. More recently I have been concerned with understanding why people care about their treatment by others, and have examined that issue in a variety of organizational contexts. I have also studied the implications of diversity and multiculturalism for the operation of rule and authority systems in organizations.
