Description
This measure, (Perceived Fairness in Goal Setting) developed by Roberson, Moye, and Locke (1999), uses three items to describe the extent to which employees believe that fair procedures are used to establish performance goals. Although procedural justice perceptions can cover both procedural fairness and opportunities for employees to discuss or influence the outcome of a goal-setting process, this measure focuses only on the procedural aspects of goal setting.
Coefficient alpha was .94 (Roberson et al., 1999).
Perceived fairness of procedures correlated positively with perceived participation and task satisfaction (Roberson et al., 1999).
