Health consequences of organizational injustice: Tests of main and interactive effects

I report the results of two studies that explored relationships between emp loyees' justice perceptions and their psychological well-being. In both stu dies, the main and interactive effects of distributive justice and procedur al justice accounted for significant, unique variance in employees' psychol ogical distress. Consistent with predictions derived from a framework that integrates stress and coping theory with justice theory, relationships betw een procedural justice and psychological distress were stronger when distri butive justice was lower. I discuss theoretical implications for the organi zational justice literature and identify the studies' limitations and pract ical implications. (C) 2001 Academic Press.
