Justice in Self-Managing Teams: The Role of Social Networks in the Emergence of Procedural Justice Climates
研究自我管理团队中社会网络结构如何影响程序公正氛围的形成,发现工具性网络密度与团队功能背景多样性交互作用,以及表达性网络密度与团队自我监控的交互作用,对理解团队公正有重要意义。
Drawing upon organizational justice and social network theories, we examined the role of social network structure and content in the development of justice climates in self-managing teams, a relatively understudied context in the justice literature. Data from 79 project teams were used to test the hypotheses. Our results indicate that team instrumental network density is positively related to procedural justice climate strength and that this relationship is strengthened by low team functional background diversity. In addition, team expressive network density and team self-monitoring interact to reduce variability in member perceptions of procedural justice and thus strengthen justice climates.
