    La justicia organizacional se refiere a las percepciones de los trabajadores sobre lo que es justo e injusto en su trabajo. El objetivo del presente estudio fue presentar evidencias sobre la validez factorial y propiedades psicométricas de la versión argentina de la Escala de Justicia Organizacional de Colquitt. Se condujo una investigación empírica, cuantitativa, instrumental, de corte transversal. Se trabajó con una muestra por disponibilidad de 406 trabajadores (212 varones y 194 mujeres) de organizaciones argentinas. Los resultados del análisis factorial confirmatorio corroboraron la estructura tetrafactorial de la escala (justicia distributiva, procedimental, interpersonal e informacional). Se obtuvieron adecuados índices de confiabilidad (valores alfa ordinal y de confiabilidad compuesta mayores de .80) así como de validez discriminante y convergente (índices de varianza media extraída superiores a .60). Tales características psicométricas transforman a la escala validada en una herramienta útil para medir las percepciones de justicia al interior de las organizaciones argentinas.

    Organizational justice refers to workers’ perceptions of what is fair and unfair in their workplaces. The aim of the present study was to provide evidence of the factorial validity and psychometric properties of the Argentine version of Colquitt’s Organizational Justice Scale. To achieve this objective, an empirical, quantitative, instrumental study with a cross-sectional design was conducted. Data were obtained from a convenience sample of 406 employees (212 men and 194 women) of different Argentine organizations. Confirmatory factor analysis results supported the four-factor structure of the scale (distributive, procedural, interpersonal, and informational justice). The instrument showed good reliability indices (ordinal alpha and composite reliability values greater than .80) and adequate discriminant and convergent validity (average variance extracted indices greater than .60). These psychometric characteristics make the validated scale a useful tool to measure justice perceptions within Argentine organizations.
