Organizational fairness is linked to lower levels of which issue?

• A. Racial and ethnic harassment and discrimination
• B. Financial misconduct
• C. Physical injuries
• D. Workplace noise

Answer: (A)

Organizational fairness is about how justly people are treated and how decisions are made. When fairness is high, employees trust processes, feel respected, and believe concerns will be heard and addressed without bias. This climate discourages racial and ethnic harassment and discrimination because biased behavior is less tolerated and policies are applied consistently. As a result, harassment and discrimination tend to be lower in fair organizations. The other issues—financial misconduct, physical injuries, and workplace noise—stem more from ethics controls, safety practices, and environmental factors, rather than perceptions of fairness in daily treatment and decision-making.
