Research supports the conclusion that organizational commitment is affected more by procedural justice than
by distributive justice, and this is especially true in collectivistic societies. The present research examines
the effects of distributive justice on organizational commitment levels of Korean employees under layoff
situations. It focuses on the moderating effects of two layoff variables: layoff experience and layoff
perception. Data were collected from HR managers from 14 companies and 411 employees. It was found that layoff
perception significantly moderated the effect of distributive justice on organizational commitment, while there
was no significant effect found in the case of layoff experience. Additional analyses show that employees
perceive a high level of distributive justice even in the case of layoffs when training on the appraisal methods
are provided. Implications of these findings are included in the discussion. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals,
