The Effects of Leader's Perception of Interactional Justice on Member's Affective Organizational Commitment: The Mediating Effects of the Member's Perception of Interactional Justice

Abstract

The previous justice literatures have studied that member's justice perception influenced member’s attitude and behavior. Since the study of Tepper & Taylor(2003), the recent literature emphasize the necessity of considering trickle-down effect that focus on justice perception flows from leader to member and eventuates influence employee attitude. Therefore, We hypothesized that member' interactional justice perception will be influenced by leader' interactional justice perception in organization. To test multilevel analysis, we collected the survey data from 240 leader and 5626 members and analyzed Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling using Mplus 5. In result, We found that member’ interactional justice increases affective organizational commitment and mediate the relationship between leader' interactional justice and affective organizational commitment.
