Forced distribution is a technique for distributing ratings that are determined with any of the other appraisal methods and comparing the ratings of people in a workgroup (Valentine, Meglich, Mathis, & Jackson, 2020, p. 359). Procedural justice is the perceived fairness of the processes used to make decisions about employees (Valentine et al., 2020, p. 501). Distributive justice is the perceived fairness in the distribution of outcomes (Valentine et al., 2020, p. 501).

In your opinion, which NCOER was more just in terms of the NCOs career development (i.e., the NCOER without a forced distribution or the NCOER with a forced distribution of 24%)?

Provide the rationale for your opinion with reference to procedural justice and distributive justice.
