PROCEDURAL JUSTICE CLIMATE AND GROUP POWER DISTANCE ORIENTATION: A CASE OF CROSS-LEVEL EFFECTS.

This paper focuses on the interactive influence of two group context variables on employee attitudes and behaviors. The results indicated that group power distance orientation moderated the relationship between procedural justice climate and individual level outcomes (organizational commitment and organization-directed citizenship behavior). More specifically, group power distance orientation was found to attenuate the positive cross-level effects of procedural justice climate on these outcomes. Implications of the findings are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
