The aim of this PhD dissertation is to study the role of
overall perception of organizational justice within the
psychological contract framework. We started revising the
extensive literature into fairness highlighting the history of the
concept, its more recent evolution, its current conceptualization,
and key empirical findings. From this background, we have
formulated two research questions: (1) the role of overall justice
within the employment relationships (i.e., psychological contract
and work outcomes) and (2) predictors and/or antecedents of
employees’ overall fairness within the psychological contract
framework. With the intention of answering both questions we
have proposed four studies** spanning multilevel perspective
(i.e., employee and employer) and also longitudinal approach.
Sample and surveys used along these studies are part of an
international research project namely PSYCONES
(PSYchological CONtracts across Employment Situations)
supported by a grant from the EU, 5th frameworks programme
(HPSE-CT-2002-00121). Finally, theoretical and practical
implications of these findings are discussed.
