The effect of organizational structure on perceptions of procedural fairness.
研究了组织结构的三个维度(集权化、正式化、规模)与程序公平和互动公平感知的关系,发现集权化降低程序公平感知,组织规模降低互动公平感知,而正式化无显著影响。
This study explored the relationship between 3 dimensions of organizational structure-centralization, formalization, and size-and perceptions of procedural and interactional fairness. Data from 11 organizations (N = 209) indicated that, as predicted, centralization was negatively related to perceptions of procedural fairness, and organizational size was negatively related to interactional fairness. However, contrary to predictions, formalization was not related to perceptions of procedural fairness. Results suggest that organizational structure and design should play a more prominent role in our thinking about organizational fairness.
