The third research intends to examine whether emotion would have an effect on organizational justice.

Findings of this study are following: (1) demography variables have no significant effect on organizational justice. (2) The whole attribution style showed a highly positive correlation with organizational justice, optimistic attribution style had a significant correlation with distributive justice and procedural fairness and pessimistic attribution style showed a highly negative correlation with distributive justice and interactional justice. (3) Positive emotions showed a highly positive correlation with organizational justice, distributive justice and interactional justice, while negative emotions showed a highly negative correlation with whole justice, distributive justice and procedural fairness. (4) Attribution style and emotion didn' t influence the relationship between organizational justice and either of them.In the end, the whole study is reviewed and the practical values are pointed out, and the ways improved the organizational justice are also put out.
