Resumen

En este trabajo proponemos un marco conceptual alternativo a la teoría de la equidad tradicional para analizar la justicia en el puesto de trabajo. Bajo este marco, inspirado esencialmente en la filosofía del pensador norteamericano John Rawls, evaluamos críticamente diversas prácticas frecuentemente ligadas a procesos de expatriación, según las cuales los expatriados disfrutan de unas condiciones laborales distintas y mejores que los empleados locales. El trabajo concluye con algunas sugerencias para aplicar prácticas de dirección internacional de recursos humanos que aúnen los objetivos de justicia, eficiencia y alineación estratégica.
