Justice as a Dynamic Construct: Effects of Individual Trajectories on Distal Work Outcomes

摘要: Despite an amassing organizational justice literature, few studies have directly addressed the temporal patterning of judgments and effects that changes in these perceptions on important work outcomes. Drawing from Gestalt characteristics theory (Ariely & Carmon, 2000, 2003), we examine concept trajectories (i.e., levels trends individual fairness over time) offer empirical evidence to highlight value considering within a dynamic context. Participants included 523 working adults who completed surveys about their experiences 4 occasions course 1 year. Results indicate explained additional variance distal outcomes (job satisfaction, commitment, turnover intentions) after controlling for end-state justice, demonstrating cumulative time. Findings also reveal change procedural affected more strongly than any other dimension. Implications future investigations as construct are discussed.
