Results support the theoretical framework of Van Dyne et al. （1995）, which proposed four specific extra-role behaviors categorized by two dimensions. The findings also support the assumption that organizational structure affects fairness perceptions and extra-role behaviors of employees. The mediation effect of fairness perceptions on the relationship between organizational structure and extra-role behaviors is supported partially.展开更多

The present paper aims to investigate the link between absolute pay level and pay level satisfaction by introducing both distributive and procedural fairness perceptions as mediators in accordance with fairness heuristic perspective. A sample of 298 employees from various types of organizations completed a survey, and a series of models were compared to evaluate if the hypothesized theoretical model fits our data. We also constructed bias-corrected bootstrap confidence intervals to test the hypothesized mediation effects. The suggested theoretical model is supported, and future research directions are discussed.展开更多
