Survey measure of perceived fair and respectful treatment by authorities, including interpersonal and informational justice.

Why it matters

What you measure connects, through the construct(s) it operationalizes, to outcomes organizations care about. The strongest evidenced links below (effect size × evidence × consequence):

How it’s computed

Formula

Mean of interactional justice item scores

Measurement model

operational (a formula over systems data) — not a reflective survey scale; “reliability” here means data quality, not internal consistency

What it operationalizes

This metric measures the construct(s) below from operational data. Through them, it connects to the meta-analytic relationship network — the bridge from what you measure operationally to what the science knows.

What we know

Synthesized Bayesian priors over relationships involving this metric’s construct(s) — the meta-analytic evidence, with 95% confidence intervals and between-study heterogeneity (I²). Follow a row for the full distribution, contributing studies, and code.

The evidence

Attributed quotes from open-access papers, classified for stance against the relationship. Sourced and classified by Principia (no third-party feed) — displayable under each paper’s license.

“However, interactional fairness perceptions of AI found less attention (Karim et al. 2015; Robert et al. 2020) despite their importance for other outcomes, such as collective esteem (Colquitt 2001), leader-member-exchange (Roch and Shanock 2006), and task performance (Alder and Ambrose 2005).” supports

“Similarly, Cohen-Charash and Spector (2001) and Colquitt et al. (2001) found that interactional justice had a negative impact on employees’ intention to leave voluntarily.” supports

“Then, in the meta-analysis conducted by Colquitt et al. (2001) and also by CohenCharash and Spector (2001) suggest that procedural, distributive, and interactional justice is highly correlated with affective commitment (as well as organizational belief).” supports

“Specifically, procedural and distributive justice types both have been found to equally predict turnover intentions while interactional justice least predicted intentions (Colquitt et al., 2001).” supports

“Also Masterson, Lewis, Goldman, and Taylor (2001), Colquitt et al., (2001) specifically found in their study that interactional justice positively correlated with altruism and courtesy while procedural justice correlated with the three other dimensions of OCB. Furthermore, Farh, Podsakoff, & Organ (1990) suggest that perceptions of fairness are more strongly related to altruism than to the other four dimensions of OCB. Goudarzvandchegini, Gilaninia, and Abdesonboli (2011) posit that there is a positive and direct relationship among the three dimensions of organizational justice and organizational citizenship behaviour when they studied the behaviour of employees of a public hospital in Iran, Guangling (2011) indicate that there is a positive relationship between organizational justice and organizational citizenship behaviour. In addition, Goudarzvand-Chegini (2009) studied a sample of 300 employees of the public organizations and discovered that there is a significant relationship between organizational justice and organizational citizenship behaviour. Igbinomwanhia and Akinmayowa (2014) studied the determinants of citizenship behaviour in Nigerian organizations and concluded that OCB in Nigeria is predicted primarily by the personality of individual employees, the employees’ degree of affective commitment, the employee perception of organizational justice, the employee level of spirituality and the sector in which the individual is employed.” supports

According to Igbinomwanhia and Akinmayowa (2014) where there is procedural justice (bias-free allocation of outcomes, accurate, consistent and ethical) and interactional justice (information about decisions are shared as the decisions are made and promoted by providing explanations for decisions and delivering the news with sensitivity and respect), organizational citizenship behaviour will be encouraged and sustained.” supports
