Antecedents and consequences of employees' procedural justice perceptions: a field investigation in India

Abstract

This paper investigates the combined influence of employees' perceptions of their organisations' human resource practices (EPHRPs) and person-organisation fit (P-O fit) with their employees as significant elements that may be associated with conducive employee attitudes such as organisational trust and job satisfaction when such associations are mediated by employee's procedural justice perceptions (EPJPs). A literature review of these constructs was carried out which yielded the study hypotheses. Usable data were collected from 303 respondents. The data was then subjected to empirical testing through structural equation modelling (SEM) procedures. The results established the distinctiveness of all the study variables and led to the acceptance of all the study hypotheses as statistically significant. Subsequently, the theoretical and practical significance of the findings were discussed. The study concludes by noting its limitations and outlining future scopes of research.
