Abstract

This research investigates the effect of distributive justice, procedural justice and interactional justice on satisfaction, value, trust and affect. Furthermore, this study argues whether this variables influences behavioral intentions in a B2B setting. To test these relationships, the present study uses data from 198 members of purchasing committee in medical laboratory. Structural equations modeling using PLS was performed to empirically test the relationship between the constructions this study. The results of the structural equation analysis reveal that all of these hypotheses are supported. Following a discussion of the results, research limitations and directions for future research are offered.

Summary

Introduction

The concepts and principles of justice, as an evaluative judgment about the appropriateness of a person’s treatment by others have stemmed from the attempt of social scientists (Adams, 1965; Blau, 1964). Recent research has examined the effects of customer justice perception on satisfaction with service recovery, affect, organization commitment, trust; purchase intention, consumption experience and word-of-mouth communication (Yi and Gong, 2008; Aurier and Siadou-Martin, 2007; Homburg and Fürst, 2005; Tax et al, 1998; Blodgett et al, 1997). Interactional justice refers to the extent to which customers are treated fairly in their interactions with organization employees (Yi and Gong, 2008; Voorhees and Brady, 2005; Tax et al, 1998)
