Abstract

This study examined the mediating role of perceived organizational justice (procedural, interpersonal, and distributive justice) dimensions in explaining the association between basic psychological needs (need for autonomy, competence, and relatedness), compensation, and counterproductive work behavior (CWB). The participants in this study were 277 employees from various government institutions (local government, ministries, and boards). Data were collected through convenience sampling and tested using Hayes’s PROCESS Macro, from which support was found for the mediation model in which the association between basic psychological needs and CWB was mediated by the perceived organizational justice dimensions. Similar results were found for the association between compensation and CWB. The interesting finding from this study was that contrary to existing studies, compensation was found to have a positive direct effect with CWB-I, and if mediated by distributive justice, the coefficient was negative. These findings suggested several opportunities for organizational interventions aimed at minimizing the negative impact of CWB in government employees.
