Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"Procedural justice" refers to an employee's perception of the fairness of the procedures used to determine how to distribute outcomes in an organization. If important outcomes such as pay and promotions are distributed based on performance appraisals and an employee perceives that the procedure that is used (i.e., the performance appraisal system) is unfair, then procedural justice is low and motivation is likely to suffer. More generally, motivation is higher when procedural justice is high rather than low.
