Findings
In this study, 301 nurses completed the research tools. Their average age was 33 years with the range of 24 to 52 years. There were 273 female samples (90%) with an average work experience of 9 years ranging between 2 and 29 years. 283 samples (94%) held a bachelor’s degree in nursing and the rest of the participants held a master’s degree. Besides, 128 participants (42.5%) were employed in governmental organizations.
The findings from exploratory factor analysis of the Justice Perception of Performance Appraisal showed that the Bartlett sphericity test could justify the need for factor analysis and the Kaiser Meyer-Olkin index also confirmed the adequacy of sampling (Table 2). Moreover, the Varimax rotation was used to simplify and interpret the construct, so any eigenvalues ​​greater than 1 were used to reduce the number of factors, and it was attempted to preserve the items with a factor loading of above 0.3. The Varimax rotation index determined a 57.71% variance for factor loading and the construct of Justice Perception of Performance Appraisal was classified into four factors of ”procedural justice”, ”distributive justice”, ”interpersonal justice” and ”informational justice”. Also, none of the items were removed.
