In their paper, titled “The mediating role of overall fairness and the moderating role of trust certainty in justice-criteria relationships: The formation and use of fairness heuristics in the workplace,” they present the results from three studies.

They also found support for hypotheses specifying the processes through which employees respond to their fairness perceptions.
