ABSTRACT

In this chapter, I am going to discuss my interest and work in organisational justice. Although organisational justice has a long history of research in other settings, the first study in sport management was published only about twenty years ago. My initial goal was to extend the theory by applying it to sport, but I also believe some of our findings, including the identification of sub-principles of need, could be applied outside of sport. While I will focus primarily on our efforts to apply this theory in a sport setting, we have recently begun to examine organisational justice in higher education. I will discuss that work and the reason for this change of focus briefly at the end of the chapter.
