ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Interest in measuring the perception of organizational justice has been growing in recent years due to its proven ability to produce significant organizational outcomes such as well-being and emotional exhaustion. In Spain, the Organizational Justice Scale (OJS) can be highlighted as an instrument which has shown good psychometric properties in previous research in the hotel industry. This study provides further evidence of the characteristics of the OJS using a large multi-sectorial sample.

METHOD:

Participants comprised 849 employees from different occupational sectors. The structure of the OJS was studied by means of an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis splitting the sample up into two random subsamples. The reliability and validity of each dimension was also analyzed.

RESULTS:

Results indicated a three-factorial structure distributive, procedural, and interactional, offering adequate reliability and validity. As expected, positive correlations were found between perception of organizational justice and well-being, and negative correlations with respect to emotional exhaustion.

CONCLUSIONS:

OJS is an appropriate tool for use by researchers and practitioners in the study of the perception of organizational justice in Spain, additionally ensuring adequate validity and reliability
RESUMEN
ANTECEDENTES el interés por la medición de la percepción de justicia organizacional ha aumentado en los últimos años debido a su demostrada relación con resultados organizacionales significativos, como el bienestar y el agotamiento emocional. En España, se puede destacar la Escala de Justicia Organizacional (OJS) como un instrumento que ha mostrado buenas propiedades psicométricas en estudios previos en el sector hotelero. Este estudio complementa la evidencia de las características de la OJS utilizando una amplia muestra multisectorial.

MÉTODO:

los participantes fueron 849 empleados de diferentes sectores ocupacionales. La estructura de la OJS se estudió mediante análisis factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio dividiendo la muestra en dos submuestras aleatorias. Además, se analizó la fiabilidad y validez de cada dimensión.

RESULTADOS:

los resultados indicaron que la escala está constituida por tres factores (distributiva, procedimental y en la interacción), con una fiabilidad y validez adecuadas. Por otra parte, como era de esperar, se encontraron correlaciones positivas entre la percepción de justicia organizacional y el bienestar, y negativas con el agotamiento emocional.

CONCLUSIONES:

la OJS es una herramienta adecuada para su uso por parte de académicos y profesionales en el estudio de la percepción de justicia organizacional en España, garantizando una validez y fiabilidad adecuadas
