A sample of Hong Kong employees was used to test the hypotheses that power-distance orientation and gender moderate the relationships between justice perceptions and the evaluation of authorities (trust in supervisor) and the organization (contract fulfillment). Results indicated that 1) the relationship between procedural justice and contract fulfillment was higher for males, 2) the relationship between procedural justice and trust in supervisor was higher for those with low power-distance orientations, and 3) the relationship between distributive justice and contract fulfillment was higher for those with low power-distance orientations. The discussion addresses the implication of including power-distance and gender variables in research on procedural and distributive justice.
