A case for procedural justice climate: Development and test of a multilevel model

Current conceptualizations of procedural justice focus largely on the indiv idual level of analysis; no framework exists for examining procedural justi ce's social context. Empirical tests reported here offer some support for g roup-level and cross-level hypotheses. Work group perceptions of cohesion a nd supervisor visibility in demonstrating procedural justice were associate d with the development of procedural justice climate. Procedural justice cl imate was positively associated with helping behaviors after the effects of individual procedural justice perceptions were controlled for.
