A Model of Organizational Justice and Workplace Aggression

The proposed model posits that different forms and combinations of justice perceptions are likely to elicit different forms of aggression that also vary in terms of the target of aggression and the manner in which harm is delivered to the target. Eight possible combinations of justice perceptions are described and the forms of aggression each combination is most likely to elicit are proposed. Potential moderators of the proposed relationships are discussed. Implications of the model are described and future research directions are suggested.
