Abstract
Previous research examined whether justice effects are comparable, focusing on quantitative differences in justice effects.
This study examines whether justice perceptions are structured similarly or whether they are qualitatively different across
working populations from 13 nations. Confirmatory factor analysis and multi-group analysis show that Colquitt’s (J Appl Psychol
86:386–400, 2001) four-dimensional model of justice works well across these samples. However, factor intercorrelations and reliabilities are
found to systematically vary between cultural samples. Perceptions of justice are more highly intercorrelated in power distant
and collectivistic samples, in line with extensions of the relational model of authority. Score reliabilities were lower in
collectivistic settings.
