Overall Justice, Affective Commitment and Deviant Behavior: From the Perspective of Multifoci

Abstract

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of overall justice on employees' deviant behavior and investigate the media-ting effect of affective commitment from the perspective of multifoci in Chinese organizational context. The research based on the sample of 341 pairs of employees-colleagues finds that overall justice has a negative impact on deviant behavior, and the effect is mediated by af-fective commitment. Furthermore, we find that the first phase of the mediated model is consistent with the agent dominance model and the second stage of the mediated model is consistent with the target similarity model. Finally, the theoretical contributions and empirical im-plications of this study are discussed.

Key words: overall justice, affective commitment, deviant behavior, target similarity model, agent dominance model
