Description
Summary:In this 3-Study article, the authors present an abridged version of Colquitt's (2001) 20-item measure of organizational justice. In Study 1, using a sample of 278 undergraduate students, they applied a systematic scale-reduction technique to determine which items should remain in the abridged scale. In Study 2 and 3, using two separate field samples (N = 173, N = 517; respectively) they provide construct, convergent, and discriminant validity evidence in support of the abridged scale. Their results provide evidence that the abridged version of Colquitt's measure maintains the psychometric quality of the original full scale and, therefore, can be used in its place.
