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.

It's not my job: compensatory effects of procedural justice and goal setting on proactive preventive behavior
(Cambridge University Press, 2018) Ren, R.; Simmons, A. L.; Barsky, A.; See, K. E.; Göğüs, Celile Itır
In two experiments, we examined the function of procedural justice in signaling individuals' value to the group by arguing that individuals treated fairly are more likely to engage in proactive preventive behavior, a behavior that involves proactively revising or correcting the mistakes and intentional deceptions of coworkers. In addition, we extend Staw and Boettger's (1990) work on task revision and demonstrate that procedural justice and goal setting have compensatory effects, such that procedural justice can be combined with performance goals to reap the valuable aspects of goal setting while minimizing some of the unintended side-effects. Our findings also contribute to the ongoing discussion of the mixed effects of goal setting, as well as the effects of multiple goal assignment. Copyright

Let the people speak! What kind of civil society inclusion leads to durable peace?
(Oxford University Press, 2023-08-21) Çuhadar, Esra; Druckman, D.
In this article, building on the earlier research on procedural justice (PJ) and civil society inclusion, we assess the effectiveness of various civil society inclusion modalities based on their impact on durable peace (DP). A set of hypotheses concerning civil society inclusion is evaluated using the fifty-case peace agreement dataset assembled by Druckman and Wagner (2019). Their study showed that PJ was a key predictor of DP. We take their model as the base and add inclusion variables step by step using a hierarchical regression model. Results show that inclusive commissions (ICs) add significant explained variance to the prediction of DP. None of the other modalities add significant variance to the prediction. A possible explanation is that ICs ensure the continuation of civil society inclusion between the negotiation and implementation phases of a peace process. As well, they optimize breadth and depth in an inclusive negotiation process. The article concludes with discussions of next steps in the research and develops implications for policy makers. En este artículo analizamos, partiendo de la base de la investigación anterior en materia se justicia procesal e inclusión en la sociedad civil, la efectividad de varias modalidades de inclusión en la sociedad civil en función de su impacto sobre la paz duradera. Llevamos a cabo una evaluación de un conjunto de hipótesis relativas a la inclusión en la sociedad civil utilizando el conjunto de datos de acuerdos de paz procedente de cincuenta casos, que fueron reunidos por Druckman y Wagner (2019). Su estudio mostró que la justicia procesal resultaba un predictor clave de la paz duradera. Tomamos este modelo como base y agregamos variables de inclusión paso a paso utilizando un modelo de regresión jerárquica. Los resultados muestran que las comisiones inclusivas añaden una varianza explicada significativa a la predicción de la paz duradera obtenida. Ninguna de las otras modalidades añade una varianza significativa a la predicción. Una posible explicación para esto es que las comisiones inclusivas aseguran la continuación de la inclusión en la sociedad civil entre las fases de negociación e implementación que tienen lugar en un proceso de paz. Además, optimizan la amplitud y la profundidad dentro de un proceso de negociación inclusivo. El artículo concluye con unos debates sobre los próximos pasos que deben llevarse a cabo en el ámbito de la investigación y desarrolla las implicaciones que todo esto tendría para los responsables políticos. Dans cet article, en nous fondant sur les recherches antérieures sur la justice procédurale et l'inclusion de la société civile, nous évaluons l'efficacité de différentes modalités d'inclusion de la société civile en fonction de leur effet sur la paix durable (PD). Un groupe d'hypothèses concernant l'inclusion de la société civile est évalué à l'aide d'un ensemble de données sur les accords de paix regroupant cinquante affaires et assemblé par Druckman et Wagner (2019). Leur étude a montré que la justice procédurale (JP) constituait un indicateur clé de PD. Nous prenons leur modèle comme base et nous y ajoutons des variables d'inclusion étape par étape à l'aide d'un modèle de régression hiérarchique (MRH). Les résultats montrent que les commissions plurielles (CP) introduisent et expliquent une importante différence dans la prédiction de PD. Aucune des autres modalités n'ajoute d'importantes différences dans la prédiction. Une explication possible serait que les CP garantissent le prolongement de l'inclusion de la société civile entre les phases de négociation et d'application du processus de paix. De plus, elles favorisent l'ouverture et la profondeur du processus de négociation inclusif. L'article se conclut en abordant les prochaines étapes de recherche et formule des implications pour les législateurs.

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.
