The Role of Procedural Justice and Power Distance in the Relationship Between High Performance Work Systems and Employee Attitudes: A Multilevel Perspective
This study examines the role of procedural justice and power distance in the relationship between high-performance work systems (HPWSs) and employee attitudes (affective commitment and job satisfaction). The study tests the mediating role of procedural justice on the relationships between HPWS and employee attitudes and the moderating role of power distance in this relationship. The results, based on a sample of 1,383 employees across 23 firms from three countries, indicate that HPWS is strongly related to employee attitudes. The results also indicate that procedural justice mediates the influence of HPWS on employee attitudes.
