    • Abstract:
      The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of eight procedural characteristics on the justice perception of candidates taking Chinese civil servant recruitment exam. The effects of justice perception on candidate’s confidence in government and their recommendation intention were also tested. Four hundred twenty-one graduating students from 10 universities in Shandong province participated in this study. Among the eight procedural characteristics, predictive validity, interpersonal treatment, consistency, and feedback were supported to be predictor of the overall process justice perception. Whereas, content validity, opportunity to perform, property of questions, and information known did not show significant impact on the process justice perception. Results demonstrated the significant effect of candidates’ justice perception on their confidences in government and recommendation intentions. The practical implications and limitations of the present study are also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
