Subordinate-Supervisor Demographic And Perceived Value Similarity: Relationships To Subordinate Perceptions Of Organizational Justice

<p>The purpose of this study was to examine the empirical relationship between subordinate-supervisor demographic and value similarity with subordinate perceptions of organizational justice using three structural equation models. The first model indicated that subordinate-supervisor demographic and value similarity were directly related to subordinate perceptions of organizational justice (Direct Model). The second model indicated that subordinate perceived value similarity with their supervisor mediated the relationship between the subordinate-supervisor demographic similarity and subordinate perceptions of organizational justice (Mediated Model). The last model indicated subordinate perceived value similarity with their supervisor moderated the relationship between subordinate-supervisor demographic similarity and subordinate perceptions of organizational justice (Moderated Model).Neither the mediator nor the moderator models were supported by the data. However, the direct model received partial support when a relationship was found between subordinate-supervisor value similarity and subordinate perceptions of organizational justice across all three organizational justice factors. The results suggest that subordinate perceptions of organizational justice are related to subordinate-supervisor shared values, but not to subordinate-supervisor demographic similarity.</p>
