Delay of Gratification as a Moderator of the Procedural Justice Distributive Justice Relationship
研究验证了程序公正与分配公正的正向关系，并发现个体的延迟满足倾向会调节这一关系，对理解如何提升员工公正感知有参考价值。
The present study examined the hypothesis that procedural justice and distributive justice are positively related. In other words, when individuals perceive fairness in how decisions are made, they are likely to perceive the outcomes as fair. Similarly, when individuals perceive a fair outcome, they are likely to believe that fair procedures led to that outcome. In line with the Tyler group-value model of procedural justice, it was hypothesized that this would hold true primarily when the individual has a long-term view of organization membership, a view influenced by the individual's disposition to delay gratification or reward. Hierarchical-moderated multiple regression analyses on data collected from workers in a small American tooling plant supported this hypothesis. These results have implications for attempts to enhance perceptions of justice.
