Analysis

The Procedural Justice Scale evaluates individuals’ perceptions of various aspects of procedural fairness, such as transparency, participation, consistency, impartiality, and justifications.

Purpose

The purpose of the scale is to measure individuals’ perceptions of the fairness of procedures applied in situations that affect them. This measurement helps in understanding how procedures and decisions influence individuals’ satisfaction, commitment, and trust toward the organization or system implementing the procedures.

Calibration

The PJS usually employs a Likert scale for calibration. Participants evaluate their agreement with various statements related to the fairness of procedures.
