Procedural Justice and Police Legitimacy: A Test of Measurement and Structure
American Journal of Criminal Justice, 2013Co-Authors: Jacinta M GauAbstract:The Procedural Justice theory of police legitimacy has received substantial empirical support, yet too little attention has been paid to the operationalization and measurement of these important theoretical constructs. In particular, it is unclear whether the items used to represent Procedural Justice and police legitimacy possess convergent and discriminant validity. The current study uses confirmatory factor analysis to test for the measurement properties of these constructs and expands upon prior research by also including a measure of encounter-based Procedural Justice in addition to a scale tapping into global beliefs. The results provide mixed support for discriminant and convergent validity between legitimacy and global Procedural Justice. Full structural equation models test an alternative specification of one of the popular measurement methods for legitimacy, and compare the relative impact of each type of Procedural Justice. The findings indicate that while specific Procedural Justice predicts legitimacy, global Procedural Justice has a stronger influence. Implications for measurement and police policy are discussed.

examining macro level impacts on Procedural Justice and police legitimacy
Journal of Criminal Justice, 2012Co-Authors: Jacinta M Gau, Nicholas Corsaro, Eric A Stewart, Rod K BrunsonAbstract:Abstract Purpose Many studies have lent empirical support to the Procedural Justice model of police legitimacy; however, there has, as yet, not been widespread consideration of the potential impact of neighborhood- and community-level factors on people's perceptions of Procedural Justice or police legitimacy. The present study integrates the macro-level policing literature with the psychological-based Procedural Justice framework to uncover what effects, if any, the sociostructural environment has on Procedural Justice and police legitimacy. Methods Hierarchical linear modeling integrates census and survey data within a single, mid-sized city. Results Concentrated disadvantage exerted a marginally-significant impact on Procedural Justice, and on police legitimacy while controlling for Procedural Justice. Procedural Justice remained the strongest predictor of legitimacy, even when accounting for macro-level characteristics. Conclusions The effect of Procedural Justice on police legitimacy appears to be robust against the deleterious impacts of concentrated disadvantage. This has implications for Procedural Justice research, theory, and policing.

The Effects of Procedural Justice Climate on Work Group Performance
Small Group Research, 2002Co-Authors: Stefanie E Naumann, Nathan BennettAbstract:The authors examined the effect of Procedural Justice climate, defined as a distinct group-level cognition about how the work group as a whole is treated, on work group performance in a sample of 34 work groups from two organizations. They hypothesized that the relationship between Procedural Justice climate and performance is indirect, operating through helping behavior. Group-level helping behavior fully mediated the relationship between Procedural Justice climate and perceived performance. However, the same results were not found when financial performance data were used as a measure of work group performance. Implications for the study’s findings are discussed.

a case for Procedural Justice climate development and test of a multilevel model
Academy of Management Journal, 2000Co-Authors: Stefanie E Naumann, Nathan BennettAbstract:Current conceptualizations of Procedural Justice focus largely on the individual level of analysis; no framework exists for examining Procedural Justice's social context. Empirical tests reported here offer some support for group-level and cross-level hypotheses. Work group perceptions of cohesion and supervisor visibility in demonstrating Procedural Justice were associated with the development of Procedural Justice climate. Procedural Justice climate was positively associated with helping behaviors after the effects of individual Procedural Justice perceptions were controlled for.

A Multilevel Analysis of Procedural Justice Context
1998Co-Authors: Kevin W. Mossholder, Nathan Bennett, Christopher L. MartinAbstract:Using a multilevel framework, we hypothesized that both employee perceptions of Procedural Justice and a work unit level measure of Procedural Justice context would be associated with employee reports of job satisfaction and organizational commitment. 323 employees from 53 branches of a savings and loan corporation were used to test this hypothesis. Hierarchical linear modeling analyses revealed that Procedural Justice context explained variance in employee job satisfaction beyond that accounted for by individual perceptions of Procedural Justice. With regard to organizational commitment, this hypothesis was not supported. The results are discussed in connection with contextual aspects of Procedural Justice.

A multilevel analysis of Procedural Justice context
Journal of Organizational Behavior, 1998Co-Authors: Kevin W. Mossholder, Nathan Bennett, Christopher L. MartinAbstract:Summary Using a multilevel framework, we hypothesized that both employee perceptions ofProcedural Justice and a work unit level measure of Procedural Justice context would beassociated with employee reports of job satisfaction and organizational commitment.Three hundred and twenty-three employees from 53 branches of a financial servicesorganization were used to test this hypothesis. Hierarchical linear modeling analysesrevealed that Procedural Justice context explained variance in employee job satisfactionbeyond that accounted for by individual perceptions of Procedural Justice. With regardto organizational commitment, this hypothesis was not supported. The results arediscussed in connection with contextual aspects of Procedural Justice. #1998 JohnWiley & Sons, Ltd. J. Organiz. Behav. 19: 131–141 (1998) Introduction In the decades since Thibaut and Walker’s (1975) treatise, researchers in several disciplines havefound that Procedural Justice concerns extend to a variety of settings. Evidence shows thatperceptions of Justice are influenced not only by the outcomes individuals receive, but also theprocedures through which outcomes have been determined (Cropanzano and Greenberg, inpress). Individualstend to perceive greater Procedural Justicewhen they believe they have had thechance to participate in the decision-making process and can ascertain that organizationalauthorities have been neutral and unbiased (Tyler, 1990). The enactment of procedures alsoa•ects Justice perceptions: treating people with respect, communicating in a trustful manner,and su†ciently justifying decisions reinforces their sense of Justice (Bies, 1987; Tyler and Bies,1990). Some researchers have also suggested that the nature of organizational treatment hasimplications for employees’ identification with their co-workers (Lind and Tyler, 1988).

Reassessing the relationship between Procedural Justice and police legitimacy.
Law and human behavior, 2020Co-Authors: Jose Pina-sánchez, Ian Brunton-smithAbstract:OBJECTIVE A large body of cross-sectional research has identified a positive relationship between perceptions of police Procedural Justice and legitimacy. Following Tyler's theoretical framework, studies have often interpreted the observed relationship as evidence of an unequivocal causal connection from Procedural Justice to legitimacy. Here we reexamined the validity of this conclusion by considering the temporal order of that association and the potential biasing effect of time-invariant third common causes. HYPOTHESES (a) Past perceptions of police Procedural Justice would predict future perceptions of legitimacy; (b) Past perceptions of police legitimacy would predict future perceptions of Procedural Justice; and (c) Perceptions of police Procedural Justice and legitimacy would be associated as a result of 3rd common causes. METHOD We fitted random intercepts cross-lagged panel models to 7 waves of a longitudinal sample of 1,354 young offenders (M = 16 years) from the "Pathways to Desistance" study. This allowed us to explore the directional paths between perceptions of police Procedural Justice and legitimacy, while controlling for time-invariant participant heterogeneity. RESULTS We did not find evidence of the assumed temporal association; lagged within-participant perceptions of Procedural Justice rarely predicted within-participant perceptions of legitimacy. We did not find evidence of a reciprocal relationship either. Instead, we detected substantial time-invariant participant heterogeneity, and evidence of legitimacy perceptions being self-reproduced. CONCLUSIONS Our findings challenge the internal validity of the commonly reported positive associations between Procedural Justice and legitimacy reported in studies using cross-sectional data. Most of such association is explained away after considering time-invariant participant heterogeneity and previous perceptions of legitimacy.

Supervisory Procedural Justice effects: The mediating roles of cognitive and affective trust
The Leadership Quarterly, 2009Co-Authors: Jixia Yang, Kevin W. Mossholder, T. K. PengAbstract:Abstract We tested a model in which two bases of trust mediated the effects of supervisory Procedural Justice. Two conceptually distinct mechanisms were proposed to explain how different Procedural Justice effects are manifested. Structural equation modeling results using 203 individuals with matched supervisory ratings from a cross-section of organizations located in Taiwan supported our model. Cognitive trust mediated the relations of supervisory Procedural Justice with performance and job satisfaction, whereas affective trust mediated relations between supervisory Procedural Justice and helping behavior at work.
