Abstract/Summary:
Justice is a significant aspect of organizational life with individual behaviors influencing what is considered fair (Lind & Tyler, 1988). Organizational justice is currently among the most researched topic in industrial/organizational psychology (Nowakowski & Conlon, 2005). Unfortunately, a review of the current work could find no studies that examined the impact of human resource professionals in organizational justice. The present study looked at the organizational justice perceptions that a group of human resources professionals had in relation to their level of participation in devising and implementing justice related policies and procedures. Significant results were found in the association between participant level of involvement in implementation of justice related policies and procedures and procedural justice perceptions. Additional associations were also found to exist between participant level of involvement in the devising of justice related policies and procedures and procedural, distributive and informational justice perceptions. The implications are likely important to increasing our understanding of organizational justice, improving the workplace, and enhancing organizational outcomes, though future studies are clearly needed in this area.
