Abstract:
This paper aims to assess whether internal procedural justice is directly and indirectly through self-legitimacy connected to external procedural justice among police officers. Survey data used in this study were collected from 316 police officers in 20XX. Structural equation modeling was performed to examine the direct and indirect relationships between internal and external procedural justice. Supervisors internal procedural justice is directly related to the external procedural justice rendered to the public by police officers. Internal procedural justice also directly enhances officers perceptions of internal legitimacy and external legitimacy. Survey data collected from a non-random sample of officers limit the study findings generalizability. Organizational justice in the form of supervisory justice is instrumental in promoting officers perception of self-legitimacy and their delivery of fair treatment to the public. The present study represents a first attempt to link two important veins of studies in recent policing literature, organizational justice and officer self-legitimacy.
