Percepção de justiça sobre a avaliação de desempenho e sua relação com o comprometimento organizacional

Abstract

The assessment of individual performance is a process of measuring employee performance indicators. However, if employees do not perceive the process as fair, will react in the opposite way and boycott their own performance. Thus, one way of avoiding the ineffectiveness of performance evaluation is by stimulating fairness in carrying out this practice. Organizational justice is fundamentally important in understanding, anticipating and directing organizational behavior, since the way individuals perceive justice can condition or influence their behavior. The organizational commitment is related to the company's objective in knowing its employees in the work environment and to understand the variables that bind them to the organization, since the commitment of the individual is a unique and exclusive attribute, that is, it can’t be copied by the competition, representing a constant competitive advantage for organizations. The objective of this research was to evaluate the perception of organizational justice on the performance evaluation and to verify the relationship with the organizational commitment, in a concessionaire of collective transportation service, located in the city of Caxias do Sul. The study was an exploratory / confirmatory field of quantitative approach, carried out with the employees of the organization studied, where the tool of analysis of the perception of justice on the performance evaluation elaborated by Sotomayor (2006) and compared their relationships with the organizational commitment addressed in three dimensions with the use of the Meyer and Allen questionnaire (1997). The main results of this research are: that organizational justice measures are contextualized; it can be observed that the dimensions of distributive justice, interpersonal justice and informational justice have a significant and positive correlation with the dimensions of affective commitment, instrumental commitment and normative commitment; in a synthetic way it is possible to say that distributive justice and interpersonal justice predominate relatively in informational justice in the explanation of commitment; that employees are sensitive to the different dimensions of perceived justice over performance evaluation and that these perceptions affect their organizational commitment.
