Positive social identity expectations as a moderator of interpersonal justice perceptions
Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine positive social identity expectations as a potential moderator of interpersonal justice perceptions with work-related stress, leader evaluation, and worker satisfaction as outcomes of interest.
Design/methodology/approach
A set of propositions and several diagrams are proposed and discussed relative to the interaction of social identity expectations and interpersonal justice perceptions.
Findings
It is argued that individuals with higher levels of positive social identity expectations will respond more strongly to perceived interpersonal justice, resulting in lower perceived stress, more positive leader evaluation, and higher worker satisfaction.
Originality/value
Examining the interaction of positive social identity expectations and interpersonal justice is of value to both academicians and practitioners for future study and for creating a work community that allows for better management of workers.
