Justiça e comprometimento organizacionais: um estudo sobre as percepções dos servidores do Ministério Público Federal em Minas Gerais

Abstract

This article aimed to identify the relationship between the perceptions of distributive, procedural and interactional justice with the organizational commitment of the workers of the Federal Public Ministry, in the state of Minas Gerais. Data from 91 questionnaires were submitted to descriptive and multivariate statistical analysis. It was found that perceptions of justice positively affect affective commitment in the researched environment. Procedural justice has, compared to the other dimensions, the greatest explanatory power as an antecedent of workers’ affective commitment, although distributive and interactional also influence. The most significant relationship between procedural justice and commitment was due to the nature of tasks in the public sector, which in many cases are standardized according to positions. Interactional justice presented the most expressive average, denoting a high perception of justice in the relationships between respondents and their superiors.
