Prior research has shown that procedural fairness interacts with outcome fairness to influence employees' work attitudes (e.g., organizational commitment) and behaviors (e.g., job performance, organizational citizenship behavior), such that employees' tendencies to respond more positively to higher procedural fairness are stronger when outcome fairness is relatively low. In the present studies,...

With the development of e-commerce, many wholesale suppliers establish direct channels competing with their retailers. Such competition is often referred to as supplier encroachment. Previous studies assume the perfect rationality of retailers. However, supplier encroachment may trigger the fairness concerns of the retailers as a supplier is also a competitor of its retailer if the supplier enc...

Recent literature on computational notions of fairness has been broadly divided into two distinct camps, supporting interventions that address either individual-based or group-based fairness. Rather than privilege a single de€nition, we seek to resolve both within the particular domain of employment discrimination. To this end, we construct a dual labor market model composed of a Temporary Labo...

Round Trip Time (RTT) estimation is an important variable for efficient fairness bandwidth flows of different RTT. This paper propose a stabilized rate scheme to enhance the RTT fairness on high speed Transmission Control Protocols (TCP) namely BIC-TCP, FAST, H-TCP and LTCP. The rate of window growth is stabilized in high speed protocols from the current window size, such that competing flows a...

The fairness concept has been widely studied in the area of data networks. The most well-known fairness criterion, max-min fairness, gives priority to the minimum rate session. Kelly questioned its appropriateness in his works on the bandwidth sharing among the end-to-end flows and proposed another fairness criterion preferring short distance flows to enhance the overall throughput, which is ca...

Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) is a dual-ring network, also known as the IEEE 802.17 Standard. As with other IEEE 802 networks, multiple RPR networks can be bridged together to form a bridged network when necessary. However, further research is necessary on additional issues that arise from bridging RPR networks. In this paper, we place emphasize on two of these issues; that is, fairness for inter...

Some business practices of service firms have the potential to negatively affect customer demand because they are perceived as unfair. We discuss how fairness concerns can influence customer choice, and propose a conceptualisation embedded in expected utility theory that accounts for fairness judgments. The intended contributions are (1) to advance the literature on customer decision making by ...

All societies face the need to make judgments about what interventions (both public health and personal medical) to provide to their populations under reasonable resource constraints. Their decisions should be informed by good evidence and arguments from health technology assessment (HTA). But if HTA restricts itself to evaluations of safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness, it risks being vie...

Weobserve standard transfer learning can improve prediction accuracies of target tasks at the cost of lowering their prediction fairness – a phenomenon we named discriminatory transfer. We examine prediction fairness of a standard hypothesis transfer algorithm and a standardmulti-task learning algorithm, and show they both su er discriminatory transfer on the real-world Communities and Crime da...
