Abstract

The study investigated the relationship between organisational justice (OJ: distributive, interactive, and procedural) and work-place deviance (WPD) behaviours and the role of perceived organisational support (POS) in that relationship. Participants were bank workers from South-east Nigeria (n = 482; male = 54%, female = 46%; mean age = 31.72 years, SD = 6.88 years). The bank workers completed the organisational justice scale, work-place deviance scale, and perceived organisational support scale. Following hierarchical multiple regression analysis, the results showed that high distributive justice was associated with minor work-place deviance among bank workers. Perceived organisational support was associated with high work-place deviance (major) positively and (minor) negatively. Also, perceived organisational support moderated the relationship between interactive justice and major work-place deviance. These findings suggest more sensitisation among bank management on the need for equity in the distribution of organisational resources to enhance the reduction in deviant behaviours among bank workers.

尼日利亚银行员工的组织公正和工作场所偏差行为:感知组织支持的调节作用

本研究探讨了组织公平感(OJ:分配性、互动性和程序性)与工作场所偏差行为之间的关系，以及组织支持感(POS)在这一关系中的作用。参与者为尼日利亚东南部的银行工作人员(n = 482;男性= 54%，女性= 46%;平均年龄31.72岁，SD = 6.88岁)。银行员工完成组织公正量表、工作场所偏差量表和组织支持感知量表。通过层次多元回归分析发现，银行员工的工作场所偏差程度越低，分配公平程度越高。感知组织支持与高工作场所偏差(主要)呈正相关，(次要)负相关。此外，感知组织支持调节互动公正和主要工作场所偏差之间的关系。这些发现表明，银行管理层对公平分配组织资源的必要性更加敏感，以加强减少银行员工的越轨行为。
