Affirmative Action: Public Beliefs and Attitudes Public reactions to affirmative action are related to aspects of a person (e.g., race), and the person's beliefs about what affirmative action is and what effects it has. Public beliefs about affirmative action are quite different from affirmative action law, and the public expresses greater support for affirmative action as it is defined by the law than as they believe it is implemented. minimum lecture time: 30 A/V requirements: None Organizational Fairness This presentation deals with fairness in the workplace. When employees believe they have been unfairly treated, they react with negative emotions, attitudes, and actions. These negative reactions can damage the organization. Work on organizational behavior has found that people care about fairness of outcomes, procedures, information and interpersonal treatment. These considerations have implications for organizational policies and procedures and for management behavior. Note that the focus is on perceptions of fairness rather than on whether fairness really exists according to some standard. Employee behavior is driven by perceptions, not reality. minimum lecture time: 60 A/V requirements: PC/LCD/S;
