Question

Read each of the following two statements – Assertion (A) and Reason (R) and indicate your answer using the codes given below :
Assertion (A): Organizational justice is perception of what is fair in the workplace composed of distributive, procedural and interactional justice.
Reason (R) : Employees have greater tolerance of overpayment inequities than underpayment inequities as part of distributive justice.
Codes:

The correct answer is
Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Assertion (A) Analysis

The assertion defines organizational justice as the perception of fairness within the workplace. It correctly identifies its primary components: distributive justice, procedural justice, and interactional justice. This definition is standard in organizational behavior literature.

Conclusion: Assertion (A) is true.

Reason (R) Analysis

The reason discusses employee tolerance towards overpayment versus underpayment inequities. This relates to equity theory, which suggests employees experience greater distress and are more motivated to correct underpayment inequities than overpayment inequities. People often tolerate or rationalize overpayment more readily.

Conclusion: Reason (R) is true.

Relationship Between Assertion (A) and Reason (R)

Assertion (A) presents a definition of organizational justice and its key types. Reason (R) provides a specific observation about employee reactions within the domain of distributive justice. While both statements are factually correct, Reason (R) does not serve as an explanation for *why* organizational justice is defined as it is or *why* it is composed of the three mentioned types. It is a related but distinct point about a sub-component.

Final Answer Determination

Based on the analysis, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true statements. However, Reason (R) does not provide a correct explanation for Assertion (A). Therefore, the appropriate choice indicates that both are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
