Becoming an undercover police officer: a note on fairness perceptions, behavior, and attitudes

Abstract: SummaryReactions to an undercover police officer selection system were analyzed for 271 officers. Officers given undercover assignments had higher procedural justice perceptions and outcome satisfaction than others awaiting assignment in a qualified applicant pool. Procedural and distributive justice perceptions were subsequently related to the undercover officer's job performance, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment.

“…For example, Landy et al (1980) found that the perceived fairness of the procedures for employee evaluation were very important for employees, regardless of whether their performance appraisals were negative or positive. Likewise, Farmer et al (2003) contended that when employees see procedures as fair, they are committed to the organisation, even if the decisions which matter for them personally are adverse. Martin and Bennett contend that 'an individual may be dissatisfied with what was received, yet remain committed to an organisation if the procedure or reason for un-obtained outcomes is perceived as being fair ' (1996: 89).…”

Among British officers, a composite measure of perceptions of organisational fairness had a positive relationship with satisfaction from working at the agency (Myhill and Bradford, 2013).…”

“…In both contexts, the perceived fairness of the officers' treatment of the citizen had a reliable effect on citizen satisfaction, even after controlling for the actual outcome of the encounter, a finding consistently replicated in later surveys (e.g., Tyler & Huo, 2002;Tyler, 1990). Interestingly, police performance and satisfaction are themselves influenced by officer evaluations of procedural fairness in departmental assignment decisions (Farmer, Beehr, & Love, 2003).…”
