COLLECTIVE JUSTICE CONCEPT

Summary/Abstract: Theories and models discussing the organizational justice concept in the relevant literature approach to the issue from an individualistic perspective and deal only with justice applications directed to the individual. However, the individual who is related to her/his group and organization has a potential of being affected by attitudes and behaviors displayed against not only herself/himself, but also against other members of the group. This study questions whether the individual exchange between individuals and organization and the justice applications collectively performed against other organization members have a determinant role on individuals’ justice perception or not when their organizational justice perception is formed and aims to explain the organizational justice concept integrally by adding a new dimension to the concept with the name “collective justice”. The theoretical section of the study was conducted with theories in the present literature, while the field research was conducted with 307 individuals working in health sector where collective and group studies are performed intensely, via the simple random sampling technique. As a result of the study it was determined that the organizational justice perception may not be explained only by taking individual-related applications as a reference and collective and group-level perceptions also had to be included in this model. In addition the present justice scale and the scale containing statements concerning the collective justice perception were examined via the field research. According to the three-dimensional organizational justice model it was determined that when the collective justice dimension was added, the four-dimensional model had scientifically better goodness of fit indexes.
