Description

The concept of organizational justice has been basically conceptualized as an individual level concern. However, the concern of organizational justice has not only arisen from individual level issues, but also from group and/or collective level issues. Based on this multi-level perspective, we attempt to propose the concept of collective justice perceptions. Collective justice perception is more likely to be associated with group-oriented cultures (e.g., in East Asia) and are also expected to be a meaningful and useful construct in organizational justice research. Collective justice perceptions refer to a distinct group-level cognition about whether a group as a whole is treated fairly within the organization. This new construct is different in numerous ways from procedural justice climate which has been proposed by some researchers (e.g., Naumann and Bennett, 2000). Based on various conceptualization of collective justice perceptions, we offer several testable propositions regarding this concept. We also discuss measurement issues and implications for theory and practice.
