Abstract

The commentary critiques Miron et al.'s (2024) study on managerial power and gender inequality for its oversimplification of organizational justice through binary gender and power distinctions. It takes issue with the study's assertion that female managers are inherently more sensitive to gender issues, which could reinforce stereotypes and overlook individual and contextual differences. The study also overgeneralizes the negative impact of power on justice perceptions, failing to recognize that power can both hinder and promote fairness. The commentary advocates for a more nuanced understanding and calls for diverse, longitudinal research to better capture these dynamics.
