Handbook of Management Scales/Informational justice

Description
Four dimensions of organizational justice were measured with a scale developed and validated by Colquitt (2001): procedural, distributive, interpersonal, and informational justice. The scale ranged from 1 (to a very small extent) to 5 (to a very large extent).

Definition
