Organizational Justice Of Employee And Its Cognitive Generating Mechanism

The current organizational justice literature has a long tradition of finding relationships between perceived justice and the associated behavioral antecedents and consequences without really examining the process that leads to the determination of why a certain event is fair or unfair. In other words, there has been a neglect of the cognitive correlates and precursors of justice judgments. Although some researchers had included some attributional perspectives into justice literature, nobody really accepted that attributional perspectives had been an important part of this literature. The present study proposes an attributional process as the cognitive antecedent to perceived injustice, an approach suggested by two recent theories-Folger' s Fairness Theory (1998, 2001) and Weiner' s model for the assignment of responsibility. Our hypothesis is that attributional perspectives are useful to predict perceived unfairness and its subsequent behavior and sensibility.This research mainly depends on the methodology of survey questionnaire, which includes two parts: analysis of status in quo and cognitive mechanism of organizational justice from the attributional perspectives. We can find that: 1) A positive relationship was found between the demography variables, such as position, employment, but not yet between gender, age; 2) the perceived unfairness of employee focuses on the field of outcome. They mostly hold their supervisor or Ministry of personnel accountable for the responsibility; 3) a significant, positive relationship can been found between unfairness, responsibility and the discrepancy between anticipation and actual event, but no relationship between the discrepancy and deviant behaviors. Discrepancy can predict the perceived unfairness. 4) There are significant correlations between controllability, intentionality and responsibility. 5) Responsibility is significantly correlated with the perceived unfairness, blame and deviant behaviors. In particular, responsibility has a distinctly anticipation of the perceived unfairness. We can conclude...
