Abstract

The note provides a framework to conceptualize managers' responsibilities to employees in relation to economic, legal and ethical considerations. The note frames the central ethical challenge for managers as exercising power in a fair manner. The fair exercise of power involves three components: respect for legitimate expectations, procedural fairness, and distributional fairness.
