Organizational Justice, OCB and Individualism: Evidence from Pakistan

Abstract

In this paper, the impact of organizational justice (procedural, distributive, and interactional) is measured on organizational behavior (obedience, participation, loyalty) and also explore the moderating role of individualism on the above-stated relationship. The data of the study were collected from 175 respondents in Karachi city. This data is collected using a close-ended Likert scale type questionnaire and quantitatively analyzed using structural Equation Modelling. The results showed that the obedient and participative behavior of employees working in an organization can be achieved through a high level of procedural justice and shows a significant relationship among them, whereas interactional and distributive justice is not significant to achieve the desired OCB. This study also shows the significant impact of individualism on the above-stated relationship between Organizational justice and OCB. Moreover, this study provides insight into the management of institutions that by providing fairness and justice perceptions to the employees, can enhance the overall effectiveness of their institutions. Hence a culture based on collectivism seems not to compliment the relationship between justice and OCB.
