Concept of Organizational Justice in the Context of Academic Achievement

Abstract

In this paper there is an endeavor to apply the concept of organizational justice, well known and mainly established in organizational settings, in new domain of interest. As a matter of fact, organizational justice, introduced by Greenberg (Greenberg, 1987), and originally created in the domain of organizational behavior could be seen in a new perspective as a more complex and interdependent factor, as some contemporary researches imply (O`Neill, at al., 2011; Rupp, 2011). Even Colquitt (Colquitt, 2006), one of the scholars, most engaged not only in theoretical but also in empirical conceptualization of the phenomenon, has recently hinted that the notion of organizational justice could be abridged by some personal variables applicable on a non organizational environment.
