Moral Virtues, Fairness Heuristics, Social Entities, and Other Denizens of Organizational Justice

Journal of Vocational Behavior, 2001

Recent years have seen a burgeoning interest in the study of organizational justice. Employee perceptions of distributive, procedural, and interactional justice have been related to a variety of important work outcomes, such as performance, citizenship behaviors, and job attitudes. Despite the health and vigor of justice research, the rapid growth of this literature has made salient a variety of new issues. In the present paper, we discuss these concerns as three questions: How do workers formulate appraisals of justice?; Why do individuals do so?; and What precisely is being appraised? Each of these three questions provides a framework for reviewing the current state of our knowledge, proposing new research paradigms, and providing directions for future inquiry. C

When does procedural fairness promote organizational citizenship behavior? Integrating empowering leadership types in relational justice models

Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, 2012

We examined how procedural fairness interacts with empowering leadership to promote employee OCB. We focused on two core empowering leadership types-encouraging self-development and encouraging independent action. An experiment revealed that leaders encouraging self-development made employees desire status information more (i.e., information regarding one's value to the organization). Conversely, leaders encouraging independent action decreased employees' desire for this type of information. Subsequently, a multisource field study (with a US and German sample) showed that encouraging selfdevelopment strengthened the relationship between procedural fairness and employee OCB, and this relationship was mediated by employees' self-perceived status. Conversely, encouraging independent action weakened the procedural fairness-OCB relationship, as mediated by self-perceived status. This research integrates empowering leadership styles into relational fairness theories, highlighting that multiple leader behaviors should be examined in concert and that empowering leadership can have unintended consequences.

The Impact of Organizational Justice on the Ethical Leadership under the Moderating Influence of Perceived Support: A Conceptual Study

While a number of the researchers have conducted several studies on ethical leadership, however, not much is known about the role of organizational fairness in relationship to the ethical leadership behavior. This paper presented the proposed model in order to find out the perception of justice towards ethical leadership by using the two moderators namely perceived organizational support and perceived supervisor support. Thus, the proposition was made with respect to the impact of organizational justice on ethical leadership. It is also proposed that the perceived support such as organizational support and supervisor support could moderate the relationship between organizational justice and ethical leadership. The proposed model has been developed after reviewing the relevant existing studies and two underpinning theories namely social exchange theory and organizational support theory have been used to support the proposed model as well.

The egocentric nature of procedural justice: Social value orientation as moderator of reactions to decision-making procedures

Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 2008

In four studies, the authors investigated the individual-oriented versus social-oriented nature of procedural justice effects by comparing fairness-based responses to decision-making procedures among proself versus prosocial oriented individuals. In Studies 1 through 3, we measured participants' social value orientation and manipulated whether or not they were granted or denied voice in a decision-making process. Results consistently revealed that the effects of voice versus no-voice on fairness-based perceptions, emotions, and behavioral intentions were significantly more pronounced for individuals with proself orientations than for individuals with prosocial orientations. These findings were extended in Study 4, a field study in which perceived procedural justice was a stronger predictor of satisfaction and organizational citizenship behaviors among proselfs than among prosocials. These findings suggest that procedural justice effects can be accounted for by self-oriented motives or needs, rather than prosocial motives that are often conceptualized as being associated with justice.
