Strategic Planning and Human Resource Management

(Lind 2001). If an individual considers the working of procedural justice, he/she will have commitment and motivation to cooperate with group members to accomplish the tasks of management to accomplish the goals (Blader and Tyler 2003).

Globalization has complicated the processes in procedural justice through the involvement of various transnational actors, who are not limited in a particular territory. Globalization has complicated the implementation of procedural justice through foreign investment crossing the boundaries of any particular state. For example, the government is asked to interfere with the activities of the businesses investing in another country. Some businesses may engage in illegal and unethical activities in a foreign country. People suffering the consequences of illegal activities need redress of their grievances. The public personnel manager needs to introduce a comprehensive way to develop procedural justice for the operations of the businesses, both within the country and also outside its borders.

The public personnel manager is responsible for providing the ways to establish procedural justice in any activities crossing boundaries.

On the other hand, “fair and just can make negative outcomes more palatable—an idea that is especially important in the limited resource environment of government” (Rubin 2009, p. 126.).
