Abstract
This article reviews the contributions of social/organizational psychology to social reform in the area of law and legal institutions. Social/organizational psychology provides theoretical models for legal authority based on popular legitimacy, something that is created and maintained when laws are created and when legal authority is implemented through just procedures. This alternative model provides a contrast to the generally dominant deterrence model and, when adopted, leads to a more desirable relationship between community members and legal authorities because it motivates not only compliance but also cooperation with legal authorities and community engagement.
期刊介绍:
Organizational Psychology Review is a quarterly, peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by SAGE in partnership with the European Association of Work and Organizational Psychology. Organizational Psychology Review’s unique aim is to publish original conceptual work and meta-analyses in the field of organizational psychology (broadly defined to include applied psychology, industrial psychology, occupational psychology, organizational behavior, personnel psychology, and work psychology).Articles accepted for publication in Organizational Psychology Review will have the potential to have a major impact on research and practice in organizational psychology. They will offer analyses worth citing, worth following up on in primary research, and worth considering as a basis for applied managerial practice. As such, these should be contributions that move beyond straight forward reviews of the existing literature by developing new theory and insights. At the same time, however, they should be well-grounded in the state of the art and the empirical knowledge base, providing a good mix of a firm empirical and theoretical basis and exciting new ideas.
