Justice perceptions of university teachers: A confirmatory study

Abstract

This article aims to show how the construct of justice perceptions of university teachers is multi-dimensional. The sample comprises 206 teachers from 6 higher education institutions. The findings converge with previous findings (A. Rego, 2000) and show that: a) teachers distinguish 5 justice dimensions: rewards distribution, work distribution, procedural, interpersonal, and informational; b) this 5-factor model fits the data better than the alternative models containing 2, 3, or 4 factors; c) the measurement instrument shows good psychometric properties regarding parsimony, internal consistency, and clarity of dimensional structure.
