Title

The Effect Of Organizational Structure On Perceptions Of Procedural Fairness

Abstract

This study explored the relationship between 3 dimensions of organizational structure - centralization, formalization, and size - and perceptions of procedural and interactional fairness. Data from 11 organizations (N = 209) indicated that, as predicted, centralization was negatively related to perceptions of procedural fairness, and organizational size was negatively related to interactional fairness. However, contrary to predictions, formalization was not related to perceptions of procedural fairness. Results suggest that organizational structure and design should play a more prominent role in our thinking about organizational fairness.
