The role of organizational communication as an influential factor on organizational justice.

本研究考察了组织沟通作为组织公平的影响因素。首先，我们试图阐明任务特征对组织公平的影响。其次，我们试图分析不同条件下组织公平的影响。虽然有很多关于美国公司具体工作的实证研究，但日本公司的工作还没有得到充分的分析。正因为如此，研究结果表明，组织沟通对组织公平有直接的正向影响，组织内部沟通是影响工作场所组织公平的重要因素，而组织公平只关注员工评价过程，在设计日本企业的评价体系时存在不足。

This research investigates the role of organizational communication as an influential factor on organizational justice.First, we attempt to clarify the impact of task characteristics on organizational justice.Second,we attempt to analyze the impact of organizational justice in different conditions.Although there are many empirical studies on specific jobs in American companies,jobs in Japanese companies have not been analyzed fully.Because of this point, we should consider the impact of organizational justice on different jobs.The results showed that organizational communication directly and positively influences organizational justice.These results suggest communication inside organizations is an important factor when we consider organizational justice in the workplace.The results also suggest that organizational justice focusing only on the process of personnel appraisal is inadequate for designing an evaluation system in Japanese companies.
