The conceptual model consists of four rectangular boxes arranged in a sequence from left to right. The first box on the far left is labeled “Applied justice principles”, and it contains the following text: “The applied combination of distributive justice principles (merit, needs, equality, primogeniture and gender) and procedural justice principles by parents and candidate successors”. A thick horizontal rightward arrow points from this box to the fourth box on the far right. The fourth box on the far right is labeled “Acceptance of the outcomes”, and it contains the following text: “Acceptance by the non-succeeding siblings of the outcomes of the succession process”. Above the central horizontal arrow, and at the top center, there is a third box labeled “Fair process”, which contains the following text: “Non-succeeding siblings evaluate the procedural justice of the succession process”, with an arrow pointing down toward the central horizontal arrow. Below the central horizontal arrow, and at the bottom center, there is a second box labeled “Fairness of the outcomes”, which contains the following text: “Non-succeeding siblings combine and weigh the various perspectives of distributive justice and evaluate the outcome”, with an arrow pointing up toward the central horizontal arrow.Model of fairness perceived by non-successors
