Organizational justice has received a great deal of attention in the fields of
management and psychology (Begley et al., 2006). Distributive, procedural and interactional
justice are the key issues for successful organizations. A substantial body of research
has examined the impact of justice perceptions on outcomes such as job
satisfaction, organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior, productivity
and withdrawal behaviors that consistently illustrate the importance of justice in the
workplace (Cohen-Charash and Spector, 2001; Colquitt et al., 2001; and Viswesvaran and Ones, 2002). The purpose of this investigation is to explore the relationship between
perceptions of organizational justice and managerial effectiveness. If modern managers focus
on organizational justice issues, they will be healthier and more productive at workplace
and will create long-term performance cultures which would lead to sustainability.
Implications from this research can help organizations advance processes and prepare managers
to facilitate organizational decision that impact policies and procedures to maximize
their competencies. To facilitate this discussion, first, we briefly review the literature
on managerial effectiveness. Second, we examine the research on organizational
justice, followed by the development of our hypotheses. We subsequently describe our
research methods and results, along with conclusions.
Organizations must make effective use of their human resources in order to succeed
in today's global market place. In a highly competitive global economy, companies
are realizing the fact that their employees, especially those at the managerial levels, are
the only sources of competitive advantage, and their performance and satisfaction
are considered to be the key variables that influence the effectiveness and performance
of the organization. Organizations must therefore identify factors that influence
the performance and job satisfaction of managers.
Among the various factors that can influence the
performance and job satisfaction of managers, `organizational justice' is one. |
