| Abstract: | This study aims at extending the knowledge about why procedural justice (PJ) has behavioural implications within organizations. According to prior studies PJ is shown to lead to legitimacy. This study suggests that, when formal regulations are unfairly implemented, they lose their validity or efficacy. This "rule deactivation" (RD), in turn, leads to two proposed destructive work behaviours, that is, workplace deviance and decreased citizenship behaviours (OCBs). The results support this mediating role of RD, hence suggesting that it forms part of the generative mechanism by which unfair procedures influence (un)ethical behaviour within organizations. |
