Relationship between organizational justice and organizational citizenship behaviors: Do fairness perceptions influence employee citizenship?

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between perceptions of fairness and organizational citizenship (extrarole) behaviors in a sample drawn from two firms in the midwestern United States. A theoretical basis for a relationship between fairness and citizenship was drawn from equity theory and other theories of social exchange. Structural equation analysis with LISREL7 found support for four hypotheses, including support for a relationship between perceptions of procedural justice and four of five citizenship dimensions.
