Organizational Justice: Antecedents and consequences of Ghanaian industrial workers

The study tested a model of the antecedents and consequences
of organizational justice among Ghanaian industrial workers (N = 320).
Justice perceptions were examined in terms of their socio-cultural properties
and demographic variables. These variables were examined in terms of their
impact as antecedents and consequences of justice evaluations.
Antecedents comprised work-related and personal characteristics.
Consequences comprised perceived organizational support, organizational
citizenship behavior, organizational safety climate, safety behavior, and
accident frequency. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to test the
hypotheses. Mplus-7 indicated a partial mediation effect in a multimediation
model. Work-related variables strongly and positively correlated
with organizational justice, and were generally better predictors of
organizational justice than were personal characteristics. The results have
implications to organizational behavior.
