Hypotheses derived from procedural justice theories were confirmed. Neutrality, standing, trust, and accuracy of information correlated positively with perceived procedural justice of PA sessions. Quality of outcomes of PA sessions also co-varied with perceived fairness. Moreover, personal power bases of supervisors (expert power, referent power) contributed to employees' procedural justice perceptions. Perceived procedural justice correlated, as predicted, positively with three outcome variables: satisfaction with PA session; organizational commitment; and motivation.
