ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to investigate IT engineers' perceptions toward organizational justice and individual work performance. The study conducted a quantitative study, and the participants were IT engineers. Random sampling was used. The questionnaires were conducted online. The cover of the questionnaire explained the purposes of the study. 161 copies of questionnaires were sent and viewed, and 84 copies were returned. One participant indicated that she was in charge of the financial consultant, and therefore was excluded from analysis, resulting in a final sample of 83 engineers. All respondents completed the questionnaire on their personal computers, and returned their responses via the online survey system. The response rate was 51.5%. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, One-way ANOVA and Pearson's Correlation Coefficient in IBM SPSS 22. The findings of the study show that (1) position grade and profession have a significant influence on individual work performance, (2) distributive justice is positively associated with individual work performance, (3) procedural justice is positively associated with individual work performance, and (4) informational justice is positively associated with individual work performance.
