Procedural justice refers to unbiased, caring, respectful, and participative treatment by decision makers. It positively associates with employees’ citizenship behavior, an expression of motivation and commitment that consists of voluntary helpful acts toward the organization or fellow employees. In view of scarce research on these variables in correctional facilities, we conducted two studies among Israeli correctional officers. In a survey (N = 336), procedural justice by the commander moderately associated with organization- and individual-targeted citizenship behavior. In addition, commander procedural justice predicted perceiving organization procedural justice, which in turn strongly associated with organization-targeted citizenship. In an experiment (N = 311), commander procedural justice enhanced organization- but not individual-targeted citizenship behavior. These studies provide new statistical and causal evidence for procedural justice effects on correctional officers, which can inform prison administrations’ practices. They also generalize justice effects to the Israeli prison culture and provide knowledge on Israeli officers, hitherto notably understudied.

程序正义是指决策者的公正、关怀、尊重和参与性待遇。它与员工的公民行为积极相关，这是一种动机和承诺的表达，包括对组织或同事的自愿帮助行为。鉴于对惩教设施中这些变量的研究很少，我们在以色列惩教人员中进行了两项研究。在一项调查 ( N = 336) 中，指挥官的程序正义与以组织和个人为目标的公民行为适度相关。此外，指挥官程序正义预测感知组织程序正义，这反过来又与以组织为目标的公民身份密切相关。在实验中（N= 311)，指挥官程序正义增强了组织——但不是个人目标的公民行为。这些研究为程序正义对惩教人员的影响提供了新的统计和因果证据，可以为监狱管理部门的做法提供信息。他们还概括了司法对以色列监狱文化的影响，并提供了关于以色列官员的知识，而这些知识迄今尚未得到充分研究。
