“…This study can help in the understanding of—from the psychological standpoint—the manner in which the project manager deals with an undesirable situation, and paves the future path of the project. It would thus add to the literature on the role of psychological factors in determining the quality of project relationships (see Clarke, 2010; Hassan, Bashir, & Abbas, 2017; Maqbool, Sudong, Manzoor, & Rashid, 2017; Unterhitzenberger & Bryde, 2018 for examples). It would also have practical implications for relationships where the project manager enjoys considerable power to deal with challenging and unfavorable situations.…”

“…Past research has investigated the role of justice perceptions in the performance of buyer–supplier relationships (Liu, Huang, Luo, & Zhao, 2012; Poppo & Zhou, 2014), marketing channel relationships (Samaha, Palmatier, & Dant, 2011), strategic alliances (Luo, 2008), and project relationships (Ojiako, Chipulu, Marshall, & Williams, 2018; Unterhitzenberger & Bryde, 2018).

“…In the context of interorganizational relationships, the justice dimensions have been found to impact affective and continuance commitment, relationship investments, compliance, and acceptance of rules and relationship quality (Gu & Wang, 2011; Jones & Martens, 2009; Liu et al, 2012). In the context of project relationships, the justice dimensions have been found to influence behaviors associated with communication, coordination, decision making, and conflict management (Unterhitzenberger & Bryde, 2018).…”

The contribution of psychological factors in project relationships has received limited attention. Taking the standpoint of vendor project managers, we examine their justice perceptions, affect, and consequent behavior in response to client opportunism. Data collected from 182 respondents from the information technology industry reveal that vendor project managers perceive reduced distributive and interpersonal justice, and experience lower positive and higher negative affective states, resulting in more venting and disengagement and less constructive discussion and passive acceptance. Findings suggest that psychological factors can bring about detrimental behavior in client–vendor relationships. This has long-term implications for project relationships where client opportunism occurs.

“…Although the term, justice, has been studied in different disciplines such as philosophy, sociology and law from Aristo to present day, the total interest on it has risen since it was studied in organizational context. Justice is a complex and multi-sided phenomenon in terms of why people care for it, how they evaluate its different sides and their styles of using justice to shape individual attitudes and behaviours [1]. Justice, in its most common meaning, can be defined as to give anyone what they deserve.…”

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between organizational justice and cynicism at school organizations. Thus, explanatory sequential research design, in which both qualitative and quantitative methods are used, has been used. Under the quantitative part, meta-analysis has been used so that 159 studies consist of articles and dissertations about cynicism being done within Turkey have been reached throughout literature. With further enquiries, it was found that 16 of them include the relationship between organizational justice and cynicism. Considering inclusion criteria, eight studies which include necessary data for the relationship between organizational justice and cynicism were put into meta-analysis step. However, in the qualitative part, the research was designed through phenomenological research design in which 17 teachers, chosen in terms of maximum-variation sampling strategy, were interviewed via a semi-structured interviewing form. The results revealed that teachers' perceptions for organization justice have a strong but negative effect on their likelihood to experience cynicism while it was also found that publication type is not a proper moderator on effect size. On the other hand, within the qualitative analysis, it was found that teachers develop negative beliefs against school, managers and teachers; experience feelings such as anger, distrust, sadness, hatred and alienation and thus criticize school and managers, behave recklessly and opponent as a result of unfair practices.
