The role of job embeddedness: a moderator for justice and citizenship behaviour in the workplace
by Kuo-Tai Cheng
European J. of International Management (EJIM), Vol. 13, No. 3, 2019

Abstract: The study draws insights from the theory of job embeddedness as a theoretical extension to explain employees' experiences of organisational justice and citizenship behaviour. Data were collected from 120 full-time employees, via a three-wave collection procedure in order to ameliorate the bias of common method variance. The analysis confirmed the moderating effect of job embeddedness on the relationship between organisational justice and organisational citizenship behaviour; that is, when the justice is deficient, people with higher job embeddedness still demonstrate citizenship behaviour. Unlike previous studies this research found that procedural justice did not contribute to citizenship behaviour, whilst distributive, interpersonal and informational justice did affect citizenship behaviour.
