The Importance of Organizational Justice in Personnel Selection: Defining When Selection Fairness Really Matters

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to examine the usefulness of the organizational justice approach to applicant reactions. We begin with an overview of the research relating the fairness of selection procedures (''selection fairness'') to individual and organizational outcomes.

“…Applicants perception of fairness about the selection procedures may be influenced because of the already familiarity of an applicant about some specific selection procedures (Truxillo et al, 2004).

“…The most popular topics appear to revolve around psychometric characteristics such as reliability and validity (e.g., Berry, Sackett, and Landers 2007), which is not surprising given that they relate directly to their usefulness (e.g., accuracy) for selecting new employees. Other popular topics include the cognitive decisionmaking processes of interviewers (e.g., Struthers, Colwill, and Perry 1992), the influence of demographic features such as race and gender (e.g., McCarthy, Van Iddekinge, and Campion 2010), the impact of nonverbal communication such as posture, smiling, and nodding (e.g., Tsai, Huang, and Yu 2012), applicant reactions such as fairness (e.g., Truxillo, Steiner, and Gilliland 2004), and impression management (Levashina and Campion 2007).…”

“…The organizational justice construct has consistently been found to factor into three different components: distributive, procedural and interactional justice (Gilliland, 1993;Greenberg, 1990;Truxillo, Steiner, & Gilliland, 2004). Distributed justice concerns fairness perceptions regarding the distribution of outcomes (Gilliland & Chan, 2001;Homans, 1961;Gilliland, 1993;1995;Greenberg, 1990).…”
