Distributive justice research is inherently concerned with the fairness of resource allocation decisions. We conducted a quantitative review of the literature (study 1) and a policy capturing study (study 2) to advance understanding of the effects of distributive justice across different resource foci. Based on 261 studies (295 independent samples), study 1 suggests that the effects of distributive justice are generally comparable across different exchange resources (e.g., pay, evaluation, job change). However, the number of studies that examined a specific resource focus was very small (k ≤ 5 in most cases), and most studies have left the focus of resource allocation decisions unspecified or referred to multiple foci simultaneously. Consequently, the extant literature provides a limited basis to draw strong conclusions regarding the comparability of distributive justice effects across resource foci. In study 2, using a policy capturing approach with 220 individuals, we found that distributive justice involving pay decisions produced stronger effects on workplace reactions than other exchange resources (e.g., work schedule flexibility, recognition, interesting work assignments, and developmental opportunities). Further, the impact of distributive justice varied depending on the personal valence associated with a given resource.

分配正义研究本质上与资源分配决策的公平性有关。我们对文献进行了定量审查（研究1），并进行了政策捕捉研究（研究2），以加深对不同资源焦点上分配正义的影响的理解。根据261项研究（295个独立样本），研究1表明，分配正义的影响在不同的交换资源（例如，薪水，评估，工作变动）上通常是可比的。但是，研究了特定资源重点的研究数量很少（k 在大多数情况下≤5），并且大多数研究都未将资源分配决策的重点指定为未指定或同时涉及多个焦点。因此，现有文献提供了有限的基础，无法就各资源焦点之间的分配正义效应的可比性得出强有力的结论。在研究2中，我们采用220个人的政策捕捉方法，发现涉及薪酬决定的分配正义对工作场所反应的影响要强于其他交流资源（例如，工作时间表的灵活性，认可度，有趣的工作分配和发展机会）。此外，分配正义的影响因与给定资源相关的个人价值而异。
