Relationships among Supervisors' and Subordinates' Procedural Justice Perceptions and Organizational Citizenship Behaviors

Abstract

We developed and tested a model in which supervisors' procedural justice perceptions lead to supervisors' organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), supervisors' OCB leads to subordinates' procedural justice perceptions, and in turn, subordinates' procedural justice perceptions directly influence subordinates' OCB. Using data collected from 373 National Guard members and their military supervisors, we found support for the mediation framework as well as for the prediction that individuals' OCB role definitions (that is, the extent to which they define OCB as extrarole) moderate the relationships between justice perceptions and OCB performance.
