Abstract: This paper studies the influence of procedural and distributive justice on alliance commitment. Based on Chinese hospital alliances, this paper use factor analysis, hierarchical regression and moderating regression to test the hypotheses. The results indicate that procedural and distributive justice could enhance organizational commitment in alliances, and organizations which have different market position, based on the discrepancy of their characteristics, market environment and alliance position, would respond to different kinds of justice differently. These results constitute a challenge to the dominant perspective of procedural justice and can deepen the justice researches in alliances.
