Decades of empirical research have shaped our understanding of organizational justice in the workplace and public assessments of police procedures on the street, but only recently has a nascent wave of research sought to better understand the role that officer perceptions of supervisory procedural justice play in shaping their (un)fair interactions with the public. The nascent research testing this relationship has focused on the evidence that officer perceptions of trust in the public is a pathway between internal procedural justice and external procedural justice. This article tests the role of trust and a parallel pathway that incorporates the concepts of work engagement and personal initiative in the procedural justice literature. Relying on a survey of 638 Croatian police officers, this study finds that the effect of supervisory procedural justice on officers’ external procedural justice is positive but indirect through a measure of trust in the public and the proposed engagement/initiative mechanism. The implications of these findings for research and police practice are discussed.

数十年的实证研究已经塑造了我们对工作场所组织正义和街头警察程序公开评估的理解，但是直到最近，才出现了新的研究浪潮，旨在更好地理解官员对监督性程序正义的看法在塑造他们的观念中所起的作用。与公众的（不公平的）互动。检验这种关系的新生研究集中在证据上，即官员对公众的信任感是内部程序正义与外部程序正义之间的一种途径。本文测试了信任的作用以及在程序正义文献中纳入工作参与和个人主动性概念的平行途径。根据对638名克罗地亚警察的调查，这项研究发现，监督程序正义对官员外部程序正义的影响是积极的，但通过对公众的信任程度和拟议的参与/主动机制是间接的。讨论了这些发现对研究和警察实践的意义。
