Abstract
The field of organizational justice continues to be studied by several researchers over a
long time.Organizational justice is considered as vital asset for organizational survival. It
has great benefits for employees and organizations alike.These include higher levels of job
satisfaction, more exhibiting of organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB), and more
promoting of organizational commitment. To this particular end, construct of
organizational justice, its dimensions, its impact on organizational variables as well as
some suggestions for future studies was demonstrated in this work.
Keywords: Organizational Justice, Job Satisfaction, Organizational

1. Introduction
The globalization and the increasing of the international competition which the organizations face,
push them to increase its interest in the human resource, which it is considered as a core element for
success of the organizations. Focusing on the organizational variables which have a good impact on the
employees is one of the most important feasible ways for that.
Organizational justice is one of these variables which have such impact on the employees in the
organizations. Moore (1978) and Okun (1975) claimed that social scientists have long recognized the
importance of the ideals of justice as a basic requirement for the effective functioning of organizations
and the personal satisfaction of the individuals they employ (as cited in Greenberg, 1990b).This
concept, however, has been the target of a great deal of researches, and it has important implications
for organizations and their employees (Greenberg, 1990b).Cropanzano, Bowen, and Gilliland
(2007)also asserted that organizational justice has the potential to create the powerful benefits for
organizations and employees alike.Kim (2009) found when employees who were treated fairly by their
company, they tended to develop and maintain communal relationships with the company.
However, organizational justice, people's perceptions of fairness in organizations, isone of the
topics of greatest interest to scientists in the fields of industrial-organizational psychology, human
resources management, and organizational behavior in recent years (Cropanzano & Greenberg, 1997).
Colquitt (2001) also claimed that the concept of organizational justice has become an increasingly
visible construct in the social sciences over the past few decades.Moreover, Colquitt and Greenberg
(2003) claimed that organizational justice was cited as the most popular topic of papers submitted to
the organizational behavior division of the Academy of Management for several years during the midlate 1990s (as cited in Kim, 2009). Due to the importance of organizational justice in the organizations,
the present article comes to characterize some of the most important sides of the organizational justice.

2. Notions of the Organizational Justice

Colquitt et al., (2005) referred to the development of organizational justice research as a distinctive
setof waves beginning in the 1950s with distributive justice; followed by the procedural justice wave
in the mid-1970s; and then the emergence of the interpersonal justice wave in the 1980s (as cited in
Whisenant&Smucker, 2009).
Moorman (1991) defined the organizational justice as the term used to describe the role of
fairness as it directly relates to the workplace. He mentioned that the organizational justice is
concerned with the ways in which employees determine if they have been treated fairly in their jobs
and the ways in which those determinations influence other work-related variables.Greenberg (1996)
defined the organizational justice as a term which expresses the employees perceptions about how
fairly they are treated in the organizations and how such perceptions affect organizational outcomes
such as satisfaction (as cited in Najafi, Noruzy, Azar, Nazari-Shirkouhi & Dalvand, 2011, p.5243).
Cropanzano and Greenberg (1997) claimedthat,in general,the study of organizational justice has
focused on two major issues: employees' responses to the things they receive-that is, outcomes and the
means by which they obtain these outcomes-that is,procedure.
The term of organizational justice, however, refers to the extent to which employees perceive
workplace procedures, interactions, and outcomes to be fair in nature, which fairness, often, will only
become relevant and tangible when violation of said justice occurs (Baldwin, 2006). These perceptions
can influence attitudes and behaviors of the employees. Cropanzano, Bowen, and Gilliland (2007) gave
a similar definition of the previous ones, but in comprehensive form when they defined it as a personal
evaluation about the ethical and moral standing of managerial conduct.
Greenberg (1996), moreover, claimed that the perceptions of procedure are more useful for
explaining attitudes toward institutions, and distributive justice perceptions have a greater influence
over attitudes towards a result of decision (as cited in Rifai, 2005).These perceptions relate to multidimensions of organizational justice (Colquitt, 2001).
2.1. Distributive Justice
Early studies on organizational justice were more focused on distributive justice. Distributive justice is
actually grounded in Adams (1965) equity theory (as cited inLoi, Hang-yue& Foley, 2006).Folger and
Greenberg (1985), however, defined the distributive justice as thefairness of the outcomes the
employees receives. Colquitt (2001) claimed that distributive justice is fostered where outcomes are
consistent with implicit norms for allocation, such as equity or equality.
In return to the root of the distributive justice, we would find Adams (1965), whoused the social
exchange theory framework to evaluate the fairness,refer to the distributive justice as the fairness of the
outcomes not to the level of outcomes per se. Which comparing the ratio of one's inputs (e.g.,
experience, education) with that of a comparison other is a way that Adams suggested to determine
whether an outcome was fair or not (as cited in Colquitt et al., 2001). In other words, Adams (1965)
conceptualized fairness by stating that employees determine whether they have been treated fairly at
work by comparing their own payoff ratio of outcomes (such as pay or status) to inputs (such as effort
or time) to the ratio of their co-workers (as cited in Bakhshi, Kumar, & Rani, 2009). Simply, Adams
(1965) suggested that an individual calculates his/her perceived inputoutcome ratio and then
compares this ratio with that of a referent other. Unequal inputoutcome ratios between the
individualand the referent other (i.e. the presence of inequity) leads to a feeling of
unfairnessexperienced by both parties. Motivated by this feeling of discomfort, both parties
wouldrectify the unjust situation by reacting behaviorally (e.g. altering job performance) (as cited in
Loi et al., 2006).Since that time distributive justice became more pertinent in organizational behavior
research.

2.2. Procedural Justice

While distributive justice is concerned with perceptions of fairness about organizational allocations and
outcomes which employees receive, simply, Folger and Greenberg (1985) defined the procedural
justice as the fairness of the procedures used to determine the outcomes the employees receive. Thibaut
and Walker (1975) discussed mainly two criteria of procedural justice depending on their observations
from courtroom sittings.The first on was process control (e.g., the ability to voice one's views and
arguments during a procedure), while the second one was decision control (e.g., the ability to influence
the actual outcome itself) (as cited in Colquitt et al., 2001). Moreover, Thibaut and Walker (1975)
claimed that the procedural justice is fostered where through voice during a decision-making process or
influence over the outcome (as cited in Colquitt, 2001).
Later on, Leventhal, Karuza, and Fry, (1980) extended a list of determinants of
proceduraljustice which considered as Leventhal's theory or Leventhal's rules. These rules concentrated
on six rules thata procedure should meet to be perceived as fair. Procedures should (a) be
consistence,(b) be free from bias, (c) accuracy, (d) correctability, (e) representativeness, and
(f)ethicality (as cited in Triana, Wagstaff, & Kim, 2012). Moreover, Leventhal et al., (1980) claimed
that the procedural justice is also fostered by adherence to fair process criteria such as consistency, lack
of bias, correctability, representation, accuracy, and ethicality (as cited in Colquitt, 2001).
2.3. InteractionalJustice
Bies and Moag (1986) was the first study the interactional justice construct introduced (as cited in
Colquitt, 2001). Bies and Moag (1986) mentioned that the interactional justice refers to the quality of
interpersonal processes and treatment of individuals (i.e. being treated with dignity and respect), as
well as the extent to which to which reasons behind the outcomes are explained (as cited in Elamin &
Alomaim, 2011). That definition includes the two dimensions of interactional justice, the interpersonal
as well as the informational one, which Colquitt (2001) asserted that they should be considered as
separately. Moorman (1991, 1993), however, referred to interactional justice as a one of the two
dimensions of procedural justice, while the other one is formal procedures. In both of his studies, he
referred to the interactional justice to interpersonal treatment of the supervisors with the
employeesdepending.
On the other hand, Bies and Moag (1986) identified four criteria for interactional justice which
are (a) justification (e.g., explaining the basis for decisions), (b) truthfulness (e.g., an authority figure
being candid and not engaging in deception), (c) respect (e.g., being polite rather than rude), and (d)
propriety (e.g., refraining from improper remarks or prejudicial statements) (as cited in Colquitt, 2001).
Moreover, Greenberg (1990a, 1993b) asserted that, in practice, these four criteria have been researched
and have been shown along two dimensions: explanations "Informational" and sensitivity
"Interpersonal". Greenberg (1993a) and Shapiro, Buttner, and Barry (1994) have also been shown that
the two dimensions of informational and interpersonal have independent effects of one another.
However, Colquitt (2001) suggested that organizational justice is best conceptualized as four
distinct dimensions: procedural justice, distributive justice, interpersonal justice, and informational
justice depending on the seminal work in the justice literature.He asserted that interactional justice
should be broken down into its interpersonal and informational justice components, as they too had
differential effects.Moreover, Colquitt et al., (2001) asserted that distributive and procedural justice are
distinct concepts in nature, as they also gave evidence that the procedural, interpersonal, and
informational justice are distinct constructs that can be empirically distinguished from one another.
2.3.1. Interpersonal Justice
Colquitt et al. (2001) referred to the notion of interpersonal justice to how people are treatedwith
politeness, dignity, and respect by authorities or by the other parties that could involved in carrying out
procedures or determining outcomes. They mentioned that interpersonal justice acts primarily to alter
reactions to decision outcomes, because sensitivity can make people feel better about an unfavorable

166

European Journal of Economics Finance and Administrative Sciences - Issue 52 (2012)

outcome.Greenberg (1993b), previously, mentioned to that when he referred that interpersonal justice
may be sought by providing knowledge about procedures that demonstrate regard for peoples
concerns. He gave example about people who receiving negative outcomes such as a rejected proposal
or denied job were more likely to accept those results as fair when they received a reasonable
explanation regarding the procedure used than when no such justification was provided. For
explanations to be perceived as fair, however, they must also be recognized as genuine inintent and
based on sound reasoning.
2.3.2. Informational Justice
Colquitt et al. (2001) referred to the notion of informational justice to the explanationsprovided to
people that give information about why procedures were used in a certain way or why outcomeswere
distributed in a certain fashion.In other words, informational justice indicates on how the information
presented in the society fairly in terms of location, time and situation (Goudarzvandchegini, Gilaninia,
&Abdesonboli, 2011).
However, Colquitt et al., (2001) referred that interpersonal justice acts primarily to alter
reactions to decision outcomes, informational justice acts primarily to alter reactions to procedures, in
that explanation provide the information needed to evaluate structural aspects of the process.
Greenberg (1993b), previously, mentioned that when he referred that informational justice may be
sought by providing knowledge about procedures that demonstrate regard for peoples concerns. He
gave example about people who receiving negative outcomes such as a rejected proposal or denied job
were more likely to accept those results as fairwhen they received a reasonable explanation regarding
the procedure used than when no such justificationwas provided. And for explanations to be perceived
as fair, however, they must also be recognized as genuine inintent and based on sound reasoning.
Colquitt (2001), however, suggested that both of informational or interpersonal justice could be
a formalized aspectof a decision-making system, rather than an authority figure. For example, a
company's website could offer easily accessed explanations of key decisions and deliver that
information in a friendly and respectful manner.

3. The Impact of Organizational Justice: Empirical Support

Based on related reviews, there are many organizational variables have link with organizational justice
in two ways, antecedents as well as consequences. Greenberg (1990b), however, suggested that
organizational justice research may potentially explain many organizational behavior outcome
variables.In this section of this work, I turn to a review of evidence in support of the importance of
organizational justice in multi-dimensions terms in accounting for the most frequently studied
organizational variables which organizational justice as well as its dimensions has impact on.
3.1. Organizational Justice and Job Satisfaction
Job satisfaction is considered one of the outcomes of organizational justice. It has been studiedwith the
fairness by researchers over a long time in different sectors in different countries according to many
related reviews as we will see that in this section from this study.
Alexander and Ruderman (1987) investigatedthe relationship between fairness and
organizational outcomes such as job satisfaction among government employees at six Federal
installations. The findings indicated that both of the procedural and the distributive measures were
significantly related to measures of job satisfaction. Proceduralfairness accounted for significantly
more variance than distributive fairness in all the studied organizational outcomes including job
satisfaction, but except for turnover intention.The study of Moorman (1991) also considered one of the
works which found that perceptions of organizational justice influenced job satisfaction. It found that
all dimensions of organizational justice represented in following, distributive dimension, and both
dimensions of procedural justice, formal procedures and interactional justice, influenced overall job

167

European Journal of Economics Finance and Administrative Sciences - Issue 52 (2012)

satisfaction among employees of two medium-sized companies in the Midwestern United States.
Schappe (1998) confirmed the significant correlations expected between job satisfaction and
organizational justice among employees of a mid-Atlantic insurance company. That relationship was
confirmed through both of the structural dimension and the interpersonal dimension of procedural
justice. The study of Colquitt et al. (2001) also considered as one of these studies which showed the
relationship between organizational justice and some of organizational variables such as job
satisfaction. They illustrated the overall and unique relationships among distributive, procedural,
interpersonal, and informational dimensions of organizational justice and several organizational
outcomes such as job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and performance.They found that both
of distributive and procedural dimensions have high correlation with overall job satisfaction. As they
indicated that the procedural dimension is more important antecedent of job satisfaction, while both of
interpersonal and informational dimensions of organizational justice were moderately related to job
satisfaction.Rifai (2005) is another study which concluded there are significant relationships between
both procedural justice and distributive justice and global job satisfaction among nurses who are
working for private hospitals in West Sumatera and Riau Province in Indonesia.In the study of Bakhshi
et al.,(2009), they claimed that distributive justice is just significantly related to job satisfaction which
procedural justice is not.Elamin and Alomaim (2011) is also study which showed that each of
distributive, procedural and interactional dimensions of organizational justice were significant
predictor of job satisfaction for the foreign and Saudi workers group in range of industries including
banking, health care, education, manufacturing, transportation and communication.
3.2. Organizational Justice and Organizational Citizenship Behaviors
Organ (1988b) believedthat fairness perceptions may influence organizational citizenship behavior,
OCB, by prompting an employee to define his or her relationship with the organization as one of social
exchange. If employees consider themselves in conditions ofsocial exchange, they may be more likely
to exhibit organizational citizenship behavior and to benefit their organization, then.(as cited in
Moorman, 1991).
The study of Moorman (1991), however, included support for a relationship between
perceptions of procedural justice, formal procedural and interactional justice, and four of five
citizenship dimensions, altruism, courtesy, sportsmanship, conscientiousness, and civic virtue, among
the employees who work in two medium-sized companies in the Midwestern United States.
Conversely, perceptions of distributive justice failed to influence any dimension of
citizenship.However, interactional justice predicted all the organizational citizenship behavior
dimensions but civic virtue, and distributive justice and formal procedures were not directly
related.Organ and Moorman (1993) also suggested during a review of the empirical related literature
that fairness in both of distributive and procedural terms rather than job satisfaction, accounts for
organizational citizenship behavior; and that the evidence points toward procedural and interactional
fairness as both empirically and conceptually critical in the fairness-organizational citizenship behavior
relationship.Konovsky and Organ (1996) also a study which showed that fairness and satisfaction had
independent effects on all the dimensions of organizational citizenship behavior, altruism, courtesy,
sportsmanship, conscientiousness, and civic virtue, among the employees who work in hospital located
in the south central United States. Moreover, that study showed that there are significant, positive
relationships between formal procedures and courtesy, sportsmanship, and conscientiousness best
described the relationship between perceptions of justice and employee citizenship. On the other hand,
that study showed a negative relationship between interactional justice and sportsmanship also
emerged.Chegini (2009) is another study which showed that all the organizational justice dimensions,
distributive, procedural, interpersonal and informational,are positively related to organizational
citizenship behavior among the staff of Rasht governmental organizations in IranGuilan.Goudarzvandchegini et al., (2011)is also a study which be added to these ones which showed
that there is a relationship between dimensions of organizational justice, distributive justice, procedural

168

European Journal of Economics Finance and Administrative Sciences - Issue 52 (2012)

justice, interactional justice and informational justice, and organizational citizenship behavior among
employees who work in the Rasht public hospitals in Iran.
3.3. Organizational Justice and Organizational Commitment
Mowday et al., (1982), however, claimed that organizational commitment is an identification with and
interest in the overall effectiveness and success of the organization (as cited in Erturk, 2007). On the
other hand, Malik and Naeem (2011) claimed that organizational commitment is an important aspect in
management literature. They referred that among numerous factors which improve commitment,
organizational justice is recognized as the most sensitive and valued factor considered by the
employees. So, studying the impact of organizational justice on organizational commitment is a worth
subject to be researched. Organizational commitment, however, has been studied in the public, private,
and non-profit sector, and more recently internationally as we will see that in this section from this
study.
Cohen-Charash, Spector (2001) showed that affective commitment is predicted by all justice
types, distributive, procedural and interactional dimensions, but best by procedural justice. On the
other hand, they found that procedural, distributive and interactional justices negatively predict
continuance commitment, while normative commitment data exist only for procedural justice.Hassan
(2002)also showed that both distributive and procedural justice factors made significant contributions
to organizational commitment among the middle and lower level managers who work in the banking
and finance, production and manufacturing, and service sectors in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.Erturk
(2007), which studied the relationship between perceived organizational fairness, distributive,
procedural and interactional, and affective commitment across blue-collar workers who remain
employed after layoffs in five different service companies in Turkey, showed that distributive justice
was found to be significantly related to the affective commitment of survivors, while procedural justice
was not found to be positively associated with the affective commitment of survivors in the service
industry. The analysis also yields that interactional justice is strongly and positively associated with the
affective commitment of survivors.Zaman, Ali, and Ali (2010) is also one work of these ones which
showed that organizational justice, distributive justice and procedural justice, has a significant
relationship with some organizational variables which researched in that study. Organizational
commitment of the teaching staffs, who work in private sector schools of KPK in Pakistan, is one of
these variables which organizational justice has a significant relationship with.Malik and Naeem
(2011) showed that distributive and procedural justice had significant positive impact on organizational
commitment of junior faculty in Pakistan whereas senior faculty experienced improved commitment on
the provision of distributive justice only.

4. Concluding Thoughts for Further Research

Injustice means a negative relationship between the employees and their organization. That situation of
injustice provokes employees to reform that relationship with their organization again. So, justice in
organizations is a sound investment that the employers, supervisor, managers or the authority figure
should smoothly deal with, especially when they take decisions.
On the other hand, organizational justice was studied with many organizational variables not
mentioned in this work that we recommended to be researched in further works, for example but not
limited to, the study of Bolat (2010), which showed that the quality of the leader-member exchange,
LMX, influences employees perceptions of distributive justice, procedural justice, and interactional
justice, who work in service sector, hotels in Ankara, Turkey. The study of Kamalian, Yaghoubi and
Moloudi(2010), which the results illustrated that there is positive significant correlation between the
mean scores of empowerment and dimensions of organizational justice, distributive, procedural and
interactional dimensions among the employees who work in public company in Iran.Moreover, some
of studies which mentioned above in this work, dealt with variables not mentioned above like turnover

169

European Journal of Economics Finance and Administrative Sciences - Issue 52 (2012)

intentions and absenteeism (Colquitt et al., 2001), which showed that organizational justice
perceptions,distributive, procedural interpersonal and informational dimensions, strongly effect the
attitude of the workers such as job satisfaction, turnover intentions and organization commitment and
also workplace behavior such as absenteeism and organizational citizenship behavior. The study of
Zaman, Ali, and Ali (2010) is also a study which showed that organizational justice, distributive justice
and procedural justice, has a significant relationship with employees outcomes which are
commitment, job satisfaction and turnover intention.
Organizational justice, however, is a long and wide road to get start with. So,this work
concerned with the organizational variables which most studied with fairness according to many
related literature reviews, in high hoping that this work will help researchers in their further researches.
