| dc.description.abstract | This study explores the dynamic between compensation and employee-organization
relationships amongst hairdressing professionals. We investigate the relationships
between the pay administration (fixed or variable) and the exchange relationship
between organization and employee (social or economic) and whether justice
perceptions mediate them. We approach both procedural and distributive justice
perceptions, as the distinction between them is well established by the literature.
Through regression analysis, we found that both procedural and distributive justice
partially mediate the relationship between fixed pay and social exchange
relationships. However, we could not find any support for a significant relationship
between variable pay and economic exchange. The study, to some extent, enforces
previous research on compensation and organizational justice theory and adds to
existing literature. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are
discussed.
