    Antecedentes: la justicia organizacional (JO) es un predictor importante de diferentes actitudes y conductas organizacionales. La Escala de Justicia Organizacional de Colquitt (EJOC) fue desarrollada para evaluar las percepciones de justicia de los empleados. Tiene cuatro dimensiones: justicia distributiva, procedimental, informativa e interpersonal. El objetivo de este estudio es validarla en una muestra española. Método: la escala fue administrada a una muestra de 460 trabajadores españoles del sector servicios. El 40,4% fueron hombres y el 59,6% mujeres. Resultados: el Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (AFC) apoyó la estructura de cuatro dimensiones para la versión española de la EJOC. Este modelo mostró un mejor ajuste de los datos que los otros modelos probados. El alfa de Cronbach obtenido para las subescalas varió entre .88 y .95. Las correlaciones de la versión española con las escalas de incivismo y satisfacción laboral fueron estadísticamente significativas y de una magnitud moderada a alta, lo que indica un grado razonable de validez de constructo. Conclusiones: la versión española de la EJOC tiene propiedades psicométricas adecuadas y puede ser de utilidad en la evaluación de la JO en el entorno español.

    Background: Organizational justice (OJ) is an important predictor of different work attitudes and behaviors. Colquitt's Organizational Justice Scale (COJS) was designed to assess employees' perceptions of fairness. This scale has four dimensions: distributive, procedural, informational, and interpersonal justice. The objective of this study is to validate it in a Spanish sample. Method: The scale was administered to 460 Spanish employees from the service sector. 40.4% were men and 59.6% women. Results: The Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) supported the four dimensions structure for Spanish version of COJS. This model showed a better fit to data that the others models tested. Cronbach's alpha obtained for subscales ranged between .88 and .95. Correlations of the Spanish version of COJS with measures of incivility and job satisfaction were statistically significant and had a moderate to high magnitude, indicating a reasonable degree of construct validity. Conclusions: The Spanish version of COJS has adequate psychometric properties and may be of value in assessing OJ in Spanish setting
