Allocating scarce resources: a contingency model of distributive justice

Article Abstract:

Two experiments examined factors affecting decision-making allocations. A four-stage contingency model of allocation decision-making assessed how resource availability, attributional analysis, claimants' deservingness and claimants' priorities affected allocation of resources. Two scenarios were examined: what happens when resources are adequate and how do the causes of claimants' needs affect resource allocation. Results showed that when resources were scarce, allocators were likely to deny aid to claimants who were responsible for their predicaments while if resources were plentiful, liberal allocators gave to all the claimants.

Fostering a justice-based health care system

Article Abstract:

Universal coverage and participation is cited as the first of a number of benchmarks required for an ideal health care system. Other benchmarks include universal access; comprehensive and uniform services; funding through community-rated contributions and ability to pay; value for money via clinical and financial efficiency; public accountability, comparability, and choice. It is argued that an ideal healthcare system would meet communitarian and individual interests.

Self-uncertainty and responsiveness to procedural justice

Article Abstract:

Self-uncertainty moderates responsiveness to perceived variations in procedural justice. The hypothesis that high self-uncertainty individuals are more responsive to variations in procedural justice, because they use procedural information to infer their organizational acceptance, respect, or social standing is tested.
