Abstract
Reactions to social accounts of
justice have remained largely
unexamined in the Indian context,
though group harmony and loyalty
are important aspects of the
work place in collectivist cultures.
Hence, others’ experiences
would be given importance and
more likely integrated while forming
justice judgments about organizations
and authority figures.
To fill this gap this study
examines the effects of vicarious
justice on perceptions of procedural
justice climate and employee
engagement, with collectivist
values as a moderator. A
field experiment was conducted
on 67 respondents. The findings
showed that vicarious justice influences
climate perceptions for
high collectivists only and procedural
justice climate mediated
the relationship between vicarious
justice and employee engagement.
