Abstract

A path model examining the association between organizational justice views and job satisfaction is proposed. The path model suggests that interpersonal and informational justice are associated with higher distributive justice views. Additionally, the path model offers that procedural and distributive justice are related to higher job satisfaction. The path model was tested with data from 222 parole and probation agents from a western U.S. state, and the multivariate results supported the proposed relationships, except that procedural justice did not have a significant direct association with job satisfaction.
