Recent times have seen a surge in societal and organizational disruptions - all posing critical justice events for organizations. This casted a stark light on organizational responses, managerial behavior, and employee experiences. Gathering an international panel of scholars from Australia, Canada, Finland, the Netherlands, and the United States, our symposium, "Dealing with the Aftermath of Critical Justice Events," navigates the multifaceted challenges faced by organizations today, thereby “Innovating for the Future” and potential disruptions to come (Academy of Management, 2024). Combining various methodological approaches, each paper spotlights a critical justice-event, including (a) contrasting employees’ and managers’ choice of beliefs and strategies in the wake of managerial inaction, (b) the aftermath of employees’ voice behavior that failed to gain the endorsement of managers, (c) how the repeated exposure to mass layoffs in an entire industry affects emotional, moral and job-related concerns of various actors, (d) coworkers’ work-related mistrust after lifting the Covid-19 lockdowns and its implications for deviance and socializing, and (e) how leaders seek institutional redemption for sins of the past exemplified by organizational scandals from Canada, Germany, and the United States. Dr. Joel Brockner, esteemed for his fundamental contributions to the management discipline broadly and justice events specifically, will conclude the symposium with an engaging, interactive discussion that highlights key insights and future research directions. Interweaving recent disruptive events with scientific inquiry, this symposium delivers critical insights into the aftermath of crises and actionable solutions crucial for institutional redemption, interpersonal relationships, and individual behavior in a post-crisis landscape.
