Abstract

This literature review explores how perceptions of organizational justice—distributive, procedural, and interactional—shape employee work engagement and workplace learning in hybrid teams. Drawing from equity and social exchange theories, it synthesizes findings from 23 empirical studies to highlight structural and relational inequities in hybrid work settings. Findings position organizational justice as a foundation for fostering engagement and promoting equitable, human-centered learning environments. The review also reveals that justice dimensions influence engagement and learning differently within hybrid teams and highlights the role of transformational leadership. Practical implications include management training, regular equity audits, and inclusive reward and communication feedback systems. Research implications include extending justice frameworks, exploring leadership as a moderating factor, and applying multilevel analysis within hybrid work contexts.
