Fairness heuristic theory and uncertainty management theory are used to<br>examine whether initial justice perceptions are consistently influential over time on<br>OCB creating a primacy effect, or if later justice perceptions are more influential<br>on OCB than initial ones creating a recency effect. Results indicate a possible<br>recency effect in longitudinal justice perceptions. Additionally, two individual<br>coping styles, approach and avoidance, were examined as moderators of the justice/<br>OCB relationship. It was hypothesized that higher levels of avoidance coping would<br>make justice perceptions more influential in predicting OCB, but higher levels of<br>approach coping would make justice perceptions less influential in predicting OCB.<br>The hypotheses were mostly supported for OCB directed toward individuals, but not<br>for OCB directed toward the organization.</p> ER -
