Justice Perception of Performance Appraisal
In 2010, Thurston developed the frame work to assess the justice
perception of performance appraisal based on Greenberg’s proposed model
for organizational justice of performance appraisal in the United
States. This questionnaire includes 56 items in four main areas:
procedural justice (17 items), distributive justice (12 items),
interpersonal justice (10 items), and informational justice (17 items).
It is also rated based on a 5-point Likert scale (from 5 = strongly
agree to 1 = strongly disagree) with a total score of 280 where higher
scores indicate higher perception of justice. Besides, any mean score
above 3 (or a total score of 168-280) is interpreted as high perception,
any mean score between 2 and 3 (or a total score of 112-168) is
interpreted as average perception, and any mean score below 2 (or a
total score below 112) is interpreted as low perception (8) (Table 1).
