Meta-analytic tests of relationships between organizational justice and citizenship behavior: testing agent-system and shared-variance models

Research on the unique effects of different types of perceived fairness on citizenship behavior that benefits individuals (organizational citizenship behavior (OCB-I) and organizations (OCB-O) has produced mixed results. We assert that how OCB-O and OCB-I are conceptualized affects the patterns of r...

Summary:Research on the unique effects of different types of perceived fairness on citizenship behavior that benefits individuals (organizational citizenship behavior (OCB-I) and organizations (OCB-O) has produced mixed results. We assert that how OCB-O and OCB-I are conceptualized affects the patterns of results, and we hypothesize that, when OCB is conceptualized appropriately, an agent-system model is supported (interactional and procedural justice are the strongest unique predictors of OCB-I and OCB-O, respectively). We also hypothesize that shared variance among the justice types explains additional variance in OCB. Analyses of semi-partial correlations conducted on meta-analytic coefficients supported our hypotheses. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
