Research examining the effect of organizational justice on the correctional environment is typically limited to its consequences on various outcomes. Absent from this body of literature is how perceptions of organizational justice are formed among correctional staff. Filling this void and using data from a Midwestern correctional facility, the current study examines the impact of instrumental communication, integration, formalization, and input into decision-making on the distributive and procedural justice perceptions of correctional staff. With the exception of integration, all organizational structure variables were significantly related to both forms of organizational justice. These findings offer correctional administrators a low cost and practical solution for enhancing organizational justice through organizational structure.

检查组织公正对矫正环境影响的研究通常仅限于其对各种结果的影响。这些文献中没有教养人员如何形成对组织正义的看法。填补这一空白并使用来自中西部惩教机构的数据，当前的研究考察了工具性沟通、整合、正式化和决策投入对惩教人员分配和程序正义观念的影响。除整合外，所有组织结构变量都与两种形式的组织正义显着相关。这些发现为惩教管理人员提供了一种低成本且实用的解决方案，可通过组织结构增强组织正义。
