Procedural Justice in Training and Development: Development of a Scale

Despite the considerable amount of organizational justice literature, the application in the domain of training and development was neglected. This study explores the concept of procedural justice in training and development, and uses psychometric procedures for scale development, called the Training and Development Procedural Justice Scale (TDPJS). Items were initially developed following deductive and inductive approaches. Content analysis was applied to delete items, and data was collected, from the bank and security industries. Exploratory factor and confirmatory factor analyses were applied for development the scale. Additionally, the validity information was provided in this study. TDPJS includes two dimensions, system factor and interactional factor, totally in 15 items. In addition to the convergent and divergent validity, TDPJS explains variance in job satisfaction, affective organizational commitment, normative organizational commitment, trust, perceived organizational support, and distributive justice.
