Abstract: This study argues that the limited information of individuals in responding to organisational policies forces them to evaluate justice subjectively. Referring to social identity theory, this study proposes social capital as a key factor in explaining individual behaviour in evaluating distributive justice and procedural justice. An individual's high social capital tends to be oriented towards groups with different justice principles. Applying an experimental design, this research discusses the controversies of distributive and procedural justice impact on job satisfaction and organisational commitment. The substantial finding in this research explains that contextual aspects, such as distributive justice, procedural justice, and social capital, play a large role in elaborating satisfaction and organisational commitment.

Keywords: distributive justice; procedural justice; social capital; satisfaction; organisational commitment; experimental design.
