Description
Summary:Most justice researchers have defined outcomes and procedural characteristics, two key determinants of procedural justice perceptions, in a limited way. In addition, cultural values have been mostly ignored in previous procedural justice research. In this article we present new conceptualizations of outcomes and procedures and delineate how individualism-collectivism interacts with outcomes and procedural characteristics to determine procedural justice perceptions. In so doing, we contend that because of different information-processing styles and contrasting preference of behavioral styles between individualists and collectivists, procedural justice perceptions are shaped differently. A cross-cultural perspective on procedural justice presented here calls for more future research on different psychological dynamics of procedural justice perceptions across cultural values.
