Self-Enhancement Biases, Laboratory Experiments, George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, and the Increasingly Crowded World of Organizational Justice

Abstract Six colleagues have provided thorough commentaries on our justice review. These commentaries are thoughtful and insightful, each making a worthwhile contribution in its own right. We appreciate the time and effort that the commentators have taken. In this brief response, we give some modest reflections on what they have written, paying special attention to the few continuing areas of conceptual debate.
