    It's not my job: compensatory effects of procedural justice and goal setting on proactive preventive behavior
    (Cambridge University Press, 2018) Ren, R.; Simmons, A. L.; Barsky, A.; See, K. E.; Göğüs, Celile Itır
    In two experiments, we examined the function of procedural justice in signaling individuals' value to the group by arguing that individuals treated fairly are more likely to engage in proactive preventive behavior, a behavior that involves proactively revising or correcting the mistakes and intentional deceptions of coworkers. In addition, we extend Staw and Boettger's (1990) work on task revision and demonstrate that procedural justice and goal setting have compensatory effects, such that procedural justice can be combined with performance goals to reap the valuable aspects of goal setting while minimizing some of the unintended side-effects. Our findings also contribute to the ongoing discussion of the mixed effects of goal setting, as well as the effects of multiple goal assignment. Copyright
