Abstract:
This paper replicates Lindquist’s seminal research introducing the concepts of justice to the accounting literature. We use organizational justice theory, as did he, to replicate his study and, in doing so, question some findings of partial replications and extensions done over the past 25 years. These challenges, we believe, have resulted from most researchers using different research metrics than did Lindquist. Many of these extensions have also used a mental-based task, instead of a manual-based one, in their experiments. We further believe this constraint extends to much of the experimental research in the social sciences. In our research we replicate exactly Lindquist’s operationalizations of voice and vote and measure dependent outcomes for four of the same conditions he investigated. Additionally, unlike Lindquist, we find participants allowed only a voice significantly outperform participants with a vote only and no input. We thus support Lindquist’s findings of a fair process effect for voice and perceptions of pseudo-participation related to vote.
