Organizational Justice & Employee Well-being
The work environment in an organization should be ethical and should offer equal
opportunities to the employees. This is what I have learned through my knowledge and from
the different studies conducted by prominent scholars. But, one experience changed my
opinion. My brother, who works for a construction company that is BGC Construction
Company, always tells me about the different accidents that take place in his industry and
how some of the organizations have a careless attitude towards their employees. In addition
to this, I was flabbergasted, when he told me that he did not receive the expected promotion
as his head promoted his relative, who was even under-qualified in comparison to my brother.
This incident exhibited traits of unethical organization behavior and also, an unsecured
environment for the employee (Beauregard, 2010). This incident impacted my brother
immensely as he does not have the same zeal towards his work as before. He lost interest in
his work.
The most appropriate organizational behavior story that will accurately examine this
incident is the Human Relations Behavioral Theory. According to this theory, the different
functions of an organization will be considered best only if the employees of the organization
feel empowered and valued. With the human relations behavioral theory, employee
productivity can be examined under different working conditions. For instance, before the
unjust behavior of the organization, my brother has huge enthusiasm and respect for the
organization he was working for, but after the act of nepotism, he has a completely different
behavior, which impacted his productivity immensely (Nery, Neiva & Mendonça, 2016). It is
due to the fact, which the human relations behavioral theory states that an employee tends to
enhance and elevate his productivity as he feels more satisfied and validated about his work.
On the other hand, the fact that the BGC Contraction Company ignored its employee’s well-
being, due to the increasing accidents at the construction site, this further impacted my
