Organizational Justice Scale

The Organizational Justice Scale (OJS) measures employees' perceptions of fairness in organizational settings across four dimensions: distributive justice (fairness of outcomes), procedural justice (fairness of decision-making processes), interpersonal justice (respectful and dignified treatment), and informational justice (honest and adequate communication). Developed by Colquitt (2001) and building on earlier work by Moorman (1991), the OJS assesses how fairly employees perceive they and their work are treated, predicting organizational commitment, citizenship behavior, and turnover.
