Excerpt from The Imperfect Legitimation of Inequality in Internal Labor Markets Certainly there have been numerous studies of individual attitudes that have been conducted within organizations. Studies of satisfaction and commitment often include questions about satisfaction with promotions and willingness to work hard. However, these studies treat individuals views about hard work and rewards as neutral, atomistic calculations, relevant within the firm as a motivation problem. They do not connect with the broader stream of research on meritocracy. The broader social and political implications of employees' beliefs about whether merits are rewarded must be taken into account and give a much greater significance to findings about employees' beliefs about meritocratic claims. These findings reveal not just the likelihood of employees' exerting effort, but more fundamentally, they reveal the extent to which a firm derives some normative legitimacy from practices rooted in the widespread cultural appeals to meritocracy in the society at large. This study examines employees' beliefs about merit from this standpoint. As such, findings that employees' beliefs vary by how they are doing in the firm suggest not only that new procedures may have to be explored by the firm to bring people normatively on board, as argued from the procedural justice perspective. They also suggest that the sense-making schemes that individuals employ in committing to a firm and coping with inequality either leave the firm vulnerable to legitimacy challenges or must be understood as involving more complexity and ambivalence than binary accounts of legitimation delegitimation have tended to allow. One possible finding is that there will be very little variance in employees' beliefs about merit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
