Perceptions of Organizational Justice in the Technology Industry
The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to examine the perceptions of the experiences of individuals who work in the technology industry. Specifically, this study examined to what extent the dependent variables perceptions of organizational justice, performance, productivity, support, detachment, autonomy, inclusion, and work-life conflict differ between the independent variables gender, work location and language, ability, race, sexuality, position, and household size. Five-hundred and three self-identified technology industry workers completed a 99-item survey that measured their perceptions of their work experiences. A multiple regression analysis was conducted to see if a set of demographics had different perceptions of organizational justice. The overall model was significant, R2 = .064, F (9, 478) = 3.64, p <.001. This is a large effect size. The overall model is a significant predictor and account for 64% of the variance of perceptions of organizational justice. More specifically, the individual predictors race, gender, and position were significant. The results of this study, suggest that the technology industry appears to be an industry where workers feel they are included, supported, and treated fairly. To mitigate risk and produce productive high performing teams’ managers and human resources leaders should consider ways to continue to maintain healthy stress levels throughout their organizations.
