Abstract
Zusammenfassung. Das Konstrukt der organisationalen Gerechtigkeit wurde bislang in einer Vielzahl von Studien untersucht, wobei allerdings häufig mit unterschiedlichen Instrumenten unterschiedliche Faktoren erhoben wurden. Um die Ergebnisse zwischen Studien besser vergleichbar zu machen, entwickelte Colquitt (2001) ein vier-faktorielles Messinstrument zur Erhebung der Wahrnehmung organisationaler Gerechtigkeit. In der vorliegenden Studie sollte die Validität einer deutschsprachigen Version dieses Verfahrens überprüft werden. Der Fragebogen wurde in einer Stichprobe von 512 Berufstätigen eingesetzt. Die Ergebnisse der konfirmatorischen Faktorenanalysen bestätigten die angenommene vier-faktorielle Struktur. Die Zusammenhänge der vier Faktoren mit proximalen und distalen Kriterien belegten die Validität dieser Version. Vorschläge für die weitere Validierung dieses Fragebogens werden diskutiert.
Abstract. The construct of organizational justice has been investigated in a variety of studies but often by using different instruments different factors were assessed. To increase the comparability between studies, Colquitt (2001) developed a four-factor questionnaire measuring perceptions of organizational justice. The present study examined the validity of a German translation of this instrument. The questionnaire was applied to a sample of 512 employees. The results of the confirmatory factor analyses supported the hypothesized four-factor structure. Correlations with proximal and distal criteria supported the validity of this version. Suggestions for further validation of this questionnaire are discussed.
