Abstract

Perceptions of organizational justice has been reported to have significant effects on correctional staff job stress, job involvement, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment. There has been calls to raise the perceptions of organizational justice among correctional staff, but little research on how workplace variables are associated with organizational justice. The three major forms of organizational justice are transactional justice, procedural justice, and distributive justice. The current study explored how workplace variables are associated with these three forms of organizational justice among Southern prison staff. The results will be presented and discussed.
