Guidance on Measuring Perceived Fairness

[shefali sharma]

Dear all,

I am currently conducting research on perceived fairness in the workplace and am in the process of selecting an appropriate measurement scale for my study. While reviewing the literature, I found that perceived fairness is often examined through organizational justice dimensions such as procedural, distributive, interpersonal, and informational justice. However, I am specifically interested in measuring employees' overall perception of fairness rather than focusing solely on individual justice dimensions.

Given your expertise in this area, I would be grateful if you could suggest a validated scale that effectively captures perceived fairness. Additionally, if there are any scales that have been widely used in recent organizational or management research, I would appreciate your recommendations.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Shefali Sharma

Good afternoon everyone, 

Firstly , thank you so much sir for the response. but sir, this scale is for organisational justice as fairness is broader result of employees evaluating justice dimension and forming a global perception. so, can we still consider colquitt scale for fairness.

Dear Shefali,

You should utilize standardized scale to measure perceives fairness, but before that it important to operationalize your construct and then, look for the associated variables and then adapt the items accordingly which aligns with your selected variables, further you may validate it with CFA. 

Best Wishes

Ma,am 

Employee's overall perception is  a sort of general / global judgement and employees usually come to an overall fairness judgement.

Colquitt 2001 can be combined with Perceived Overall Judgement (POJ) Ambrose & Schminke.

Adding POJ may explains the additional variance after controlling

Please refer the link

Perceived Overall Justice Scale / paper(Ambrose and Schminke 2009.pdf)shared by Mr Ajit Pal Singh

You can combine the two based on goals of study. (may be as mediator or as separate predictor)

Since I am more focussed on Analytic part, it is good to discuss about combination of two with  your Respected Guide.

With regards

Sunil
