Abstract
The present study was conducted to translate Organizational Justice Scale
(OJS) in Urdu originally developed by Niehoff and Moorman (1993) and
to establish its construct validity and reliability. OJS was translated
(Brislin, 1970) and validated in two phases. For validation, a group of 334
men and 212 women (N = 546) employees working at various public
service sector organizations in Rawalpindi and Islamabad were taken that
ranged in age from 21 to 50 (M = 31.90, SD = 4.42) years. The scale was
tested on two concurrent models using confirmatory factor analysis; the
first model analyzed OJS into the three-factor structure in which three
subscales of OJS including Distributive Justice, Procedural Justice, and
Interactional Justice were taken as interrelated factors. A second
hierarchical model loaded these three subscales onto a latent factor of OJS.
Results established that the higher-order factor structure of OJS showed a
better fit than the three-factor structure of OJS. The reliability (Cronbach
alpha = .95) was high for the scale. Findings revealed that the scale is a
reliable and valid instrument and can be used in measuring the perceptions
of organizational justice in Pakistani organizations.
