The present study examined the relationships between reported importance of participation in decision making and three job attitudes of relevance to Yugoslav self-management, namely job satisfaction, perceptions of organizational support, and perceptions of organizational goal norms. Data collected from 134 of 200 randomly sampled workers in a Yugoslav tooling plant yielded weak correlations but also indicated a moderating effect of exchange ideology. These results have implications not only for Yugoslav self-management but also for exchange theory and the study of job attitudes.

The present study investigated differences in job satisfaction, interpersonal values, and perceptions of organizational climate between "breadwinning" and non-breadwinning married working women in a private sector organization. The data suggested that the breadwinners were significantly more satisfied with their pay and their opportunities for promotion and that they perceived a more favorable reward system in the organization. The results suggest that the family status of employees may be a variable important in accounting for variance in organizational behavior and for identifying issues particularly salient to female employees.

The present study examined the hypothesis that procedural justice and distributive justice are positively related. In other words, when individuals perceive fairness in how decisions are made, they are likely to perceive the outcomes as fair. Similarly, when individuals perceive a fair outcome, they are likely to believe that fair procedures led to that outcome. In line with the Tyler group-value model of procedural justice, it was hypothesized that this would hold true primarily when the individual has a long-term view of organization membership, a view influenced by the individual's disposition to delay gratification or reward. Hierarchical-moderated multiple regression analyses on data collected from workers in a small American tooling plant supported this hypothesis. These results have implications for attempts to enhance perceptions of justice.
