Organizational Justice vs. Employees’ Involvement. Research Results

Iwona Mendryk, Anna Rakowska

Abstract


Successful involvement of employees requires factors determining the level of involvement to be identified. The research problem was posed in the form of the following question: Does a correlation between organizational justice and employees’ involvement exist? The objective of the paper was to determine the relationship between variables, define its strength, and indicate HRM practices which may exert a positive impact upon the perception of organizational justice and boost employees’ involvement at the same time. In order to achieve such a goal, a study encompassing 2,076 employees of 57 large- and medium-sized Polish companies was conducted. Results of the study prove that a statistically significant correlation between procedural and distributive justice, and employees’ involvement exists. The strength of the relationship differs depending on various types of involvement.
