The effects of perceived justice and empowerment on knowledge workers' organizational, supervisory and occupational commitment
(Türk Psikologlar Derneği, 2010) Gümüşlüoğlu, Lale; Karakitapoǧlu Aygün, Zahide
Knowledge workers are one of the most critical resources for today's organizations which operate in an environment of increasing competition, technological advances and globalization. Being a critical source of competitive advantage to organizations, these workers have many alternatives in the market. Hence, it is of utmost importance for organizations to increase their commitment to their leaders, occupations and organizations so as to increase their performance and intentions to stay. Thus, the present study investigated the roles of perceived justice (procedural and interactional) and empowerment in knowledge workers' commitment to their organizations, leaders and occupations. The proposed conceptual model was tested on 445 knowledge workers working in research and development projects. Analyses with Structural Equation Modeling showed that procedural and interactional justice had significant associations with organizational and supervisory commitment, respectively and perceived empowerment with all commitment foci, namely organizational, supervisory and occupational commitment. Moreover, this group of workers has been found to be more committed to their leaders than to their organizations and occupations. The findings are discussed along with some theoretical and practical implications.

Leader narcissism and defensive silence in higher education: a moderated mediation model of interactional justice and value congruence
(Dokuz Eylül University, 2020) Erkutlu, H.; Chafra, Jamel
This study aims to investigate the relationship between the narcissism of leader and the defensive silence of employee. Specifically, it introduces interactional justice as mediator by taking a relational approach. It also considers the moderating role of leader-follower congruence in the relationship between leader narcissism and defensive silence. The sample included 1,023 randomly selected faculty members and department chairs from 15 universities in Turkey. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis tested the proposed model. The findings supported the positive relationship between leader narcissism and employee's defensive silence as well as interactional justice's mediating role. Moreover, when the level of congruence of leader-follower value is high, the relationship between leader narcissism and defensive silence is also strong, whereas the relationship is weak when the level of congruence of leader-follower value is low. This study contributes to employee silence literature by revealing the relationship between leader narcissism and employee silence. In addition, this study provides practical assistance to higher education employees along with their leaders interested in building trust, enhancing employee-leader relationships, and reducing defensive silence.

The mirage of procedural justice and the primacy of interactional justice in organizations
(Springer, 2020) Kurdoğlu, Rasim Serdar
This paper offers a novel situational approach to study organizational justice in which the proposed unit of analysis is managerial behavior manifested in argumentation rather than employee justice perceptions. The currently dominant theoretical framework in justice research, which is built on justice perceptions, neglects the unique features of organizational order and vulnerability of procedural justice perceptions. As the procedural justice concept belongs chiefly to a spontaneous market order under which the rule of law is made possible, it is inappropriate to transfer this concept to an organization in which the rule of authority is dominant. Therefore, except the limited legal domain in which managerial freedom is restrained by laws, procedural justice in organizations represents a mirage that can give rise to hypocritical managerial actions that can legitimate morally controversial outcomes via eristic tactics. In contrast, interactional justice is of great importance to organizations in that employees and organizations can ensure their rational economic exchanges without deception. However, current formulations of interactional justice often regard interactions as a palliative recipe designed to alleviate reactions to outcomes and not as a constituent of distributive justice. Perelman’s argumentation theory can offer a new conceptualization of interactional justice that addresses this gap.
