Abstract:
Developing an ethical work climate is important for organizations. This study analyzed how organizational justice influences salespersons’ perceptions of the degree to which their work environment is ethical. Results indicated that two aspects of organizational justice, distributive and procedural justice, had a direct relationship on salespersons’ perception of an ethical work climate and their organizational commitment. An ethical work climate was related to organizational commitment and turnover intentions. The results indicate that perceived fairness has an important influence on salespersons’ perception of ethical work climate.
Keywords: ethical work climate, organizational commitment, turnover
