Handbook of Management Scales/Informational justice

Informational justice (alpha = 0.90/0.93) Description Four dimensions of organizational justice were measured with a scale developed and validated by Colquitt (2001): procedural, distributive, interpersonal, and informational justice. The scale ranged from 1 (to a very small extent) to 5 (to a very large extent). Definition Organizational justice refers to perceptions of fairness in decision-making and resource allocation environments. Informational justice reflects the degree of justification and truthfulness offered during procedures. Items Has your supervisor been candid when communicating with you? Has your supervisor explained decision-making procedures thoroughly? Were your supervisor’s explanations regarding procedures reasonable? Has your supervisor communicated details in a timely manner? Has your supervisor tailored communications to meet individuals’ needs?
