Abstract

This research explores the direct influence of pay referents and procedural justice on pay satisfaction, job satisfaction and organization satisfaction, and the intermediary role of these three aspects of satisfaction between justice in its various forms and unionization propensity. To test the importance and directions of these relations, we used a LISREL-type structural equation model. The findings showed that the three equity referents of organizational justice (internal, external and employee) are linked to pay satisfaction, and that distributive justice is a better predictor of pay satisfaction than procedural justice perceptions. In contrast, procedural justice is a better predictor of organizational satisfaction and job satisfaction than are distributive justice perceptions. Moreover, the final model suggests that job satisfaction and organization satisfaction play a more significant role in propensity to join a union than do organizational justice perceptions. The paper also sets out the limitations of the study and its practical implications, and makes some suggestions for future research. Cette recherche explore l'influence directe des référents salariaux et de la justice procédurale sur la satisfaction à l'égard du salaire, du travail et de l'organisation, et le rôle intermédiaire de ces trois aspects de la satisfaction entre la justice déclinée sous ses différentes formes et la propension à se syndiquer. Afin de tester l'importance et la direction de ces relations, nous avons utilisé la méthode d'équation structurelle sous LISREL. Les résultats ont montré que les trois référents (interne, externe et individuel) reliés à l'équité étaient liés à la satisfaction à l'égard du salaire et que la justice distributive est un meilleur prédicteur de la satisfaction du salaire que les perceptions de justice procédurale. En revanche, la justice procédurale est un meilleur prédicteur de la satisfaction à l'égard de l'organisation et du travail que les perceptions de justice distributive. Par ailleurs, le modèle final suggère que la satisfaction à l'égard du travail et de l'organisation joue un rôle plus déterminant dans la propension à se syndiquer que les perceptions de justice organisationnelle (distributive et procédurale). L'article identifie les principales limitations de l'étude ainsi que les implications pratiques.
