Given the importance of comparing different groups in terms of perceptions of justice and justice effects, it is essential that the instrument used to measure perceptions behaves the same way across all groups. This study investigates the measurement invariance of the four-factor structure of organizational justice across nine Arab countries. Multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis is used with 2,914 employees working in the public sector to represent the variety of cultures among the Arab nations. We assess organizational justice using a measure developed by Alkhadher and Gadelrab primarily for Arab cultural perspectives of justice. This study shows that the four-dimensional model of justice is valid across the nine countries at the configural, metric, and scalar invariance. Fit indices showed sufficient to optimal fit, and difference test values were not significant across the set of the increasingly constrained confirmatory factor models. According to these results, we conclude that comparisons could be made safely on the justice latent variable level across the nine Arab groups. Moreover, justice dimension intercorrelations were found to be moderate to high and independent of cultural groups.

阿拉伯国家的组织正义：测量和结构不变性的调查

鉴于在正义感和正义效果方面比较不同群体的重要性，用于衡量感知的工具在所有群体中的表现方式相同至关重要。本研究调查了九个阿拉伯国家组织公正四因素结构的测量不变性。多组验证性因素分析用于在公共部门工作的 2,914 名员工，以代表阿拉伯国家之间的各种文化。我们使用 Alkhadher 和 Gadelrab 开发的主要用于阿拉伯文化正义观点的衡量标准来评估组织正义。这项研究表明，正义的四维模型在配置、度量和标量不变性方面在九个国家中是有效的。拟合指数显示出足够的最佳拟合，在越来越受约束的验证性因素模型中，差异检验值不显着。根据这些结果，我们得出结论，可以在九个阿拉伯群体的正义潜在变量水平上安全地进行比较。此外，正义维度的相互关系被发现是中度到高度的，并且与文化群体无关。
