“…In this study, we focused on supervisor-related procedural justice because there is flexibility in the way that individual supervisors may interpret and implement performance evaluations and flexible work arrangements. There is empirical evidence that HR practices influence procedural justice perceptions and that, in turn, perceived procedural justice increases employees' commitment to their organisation (Chang, 2005;Edgar and Geare, 2005;Meyer and Smith, 2000). Given that supervisors play a pivotal role in the day-to-day administration of hospital policy, practices and procedures in Canadian hospitals (Laschinger et al, 2008), we predicted that older nurses' assessment of the presence within their hospital of flexible work options and performance evaluation practices targeting older nurses would be significantly positively related to their perceptions of supervisor-related procedural justice.…”
