ABSTRACT
This chapter proposes to add peer justice climate to the growing literature addressing the joint interaction between sources of unit-level justice. It also proposes to move beyond the conventional focus on climate level and strength and examines the role of climate uniformity on peer justice climate. The chapter discusses that these ideas further encourage scholars and practitioners to help develop knowledge about unit-level justice and particularly peer justice climate. It describes three models: the instrumental model, the relational model, and the moral virtues model and their implications for unit-level justice research by exploring distinctive ways in which peer justice climate may impact employees' attitudes and behaviors above and beyond justice climate. The chapter argues that instrumental motives are more important for justice climate, whereas relational and possible moral motives are more important for peer justice climate.
