“…The majority of studies in the literature on interpersonal allocations have focused on positive or beneficial resources. Although some researchers have characterized benefits and burdens as simply the inverse or absence of each other (Elster, 1992;Mikula, 1980), this assumption is limiting because there is good evidence that they are not psychologically equivalent (Griffith & Sell, 1988;Lamm & Kayser, 1978;Mannix et al, 1995;Northcraft et al,, 1996;Okhuysen et al, 2003;Sondak et al, 1995;Törnblom, 1988). Diverse research in psychology provides evidence that negative events (such as enduring a burden) elicit more physiological, affective, cognitive, and behavioral activity and prompt more cognitive analysis than neutral or positive events (such as experiencing a benefit; Baumeister, Bratslavsky, Finkenauer, & Vohs, 2001;Taylor, 1991).…”

Some of the most important issues in society today affect more than one generation of people. In this article, the authors offer a conceptual overview and integration of the research on intergenerational dilemmas-decisions that entail a tradeoff between one's own self-interest in the present and the interests of other people in the future. Intergenerational decisions are characterized by a combination of intertemporal (i.e., behaviors that affect the future) and interpersonal (i.e., behaviors that affect other people) components. Research on intergenerational dilemmas identifies factors that emerge from these dimensions and how they interact with each other to influence intergenerational beneficence. Critically, phenomena that result from the intersection of these two dimensions-such as immortality striving through legacy creation-are especially important in distinguishing intergenerational decisions from other related decision contexts.

“…Equitable allocations are thought to yield high productivity and ensure that more resources are granted to those best equipped to maximize them (Greenberg, 1990;Weinstein & Holzbach, 1973). Thus, giving individuals a goal to enhance productivity tends to result in equitable allocations (Griffith & Sell, 1988;Kazemi & Eek, 2007)-a finding that also emerges in organizations where the culture emphasizes profit (Mannix, Neale, & Northcraft, 1995). Equality, in turn, tends to be linked with interpersonal harmony and cooperation, with decision makers more likely to distribute resources on the basis of equality in situations and organizational cultures that stress teamwork and interpersonal harmony (Colquitt & Jackson, 2006;Kazemi & Eek, 2007;Leventhal, Michaels, & Sanford, 1972;Mannix et al, 1995).…”

When distributive justice and gender stereotypes coincide: Reactions to equity and equality violations

The current study explores how prescriptive gender stereotypes shape reactions to resource allocations. Starting from the premise that the equity norm necessitates stereotypically male behavior and the equality norm necessitates stereotypically female behavior, I propose that men and women face differing consequences for violating equity and equality. These ideas were tested in two experiments, with participants reviewing how a manager divided resources between subordinates. Results partially supported the hypotheses. Although findings indicate that decision makers were evaluated negatively for using equality in a situation that called for equity, men received less favorable ratings and were viewed as less agentic than women for this violation. This work suggests that distributive justice norms and prescriptive gender stereotypes can exert a combined effect on reactions to allocation decisions.

“…In Study 1, I looked at an intergenerational allocation decision involving henefits. Since past research suggests that allocations of henefits and hurdens represent different decision processes (Griffith & Sell, 1988;Lamm & Kayser, 1978;Mannix, Neale, & Northcraft, 1995;Northcraft, Neale, Tenbrunsel, & Thomas, 1996;Sondak, Neale, & Pinkley, 1995;Tornhlom, 1988), one cannot assume that the findings from Study 1 will generalize to hurden allocation. To examine this, in Study 2 I looked at whether intergenerational reciprocity extended to situations in which people were allocating hurdens hetween themselves and future generations.…”

A Golden Rule Over Time: Reciprocity in Intergenerational Allocation Decisions

In this article, I offer theoretical and empirical groundwork for the study of intergenerational issues and highlight the relevance of intergenerational hehavior to organizations. I focus on situations involving conflict hetween generations in which a present generation must give up henefits or take on hurdens to act on the hehalf of future generations. I introduce the notion of intergenerational reciprocity and, in four studies, found that the behavior of previous generations influences how a present generation treats future generations.
