The purpose of this dissertation is to understand how individualsâ preferences for
resource allocation affect their attitudinal and behavioral responses towards the
organization. Building on the three main allocation norms (equity norm, equality norm
and need norm) and taking the perspective of the recipient of an allocation, a model that
predicts the antecedents of norm preference and consequences of using different
allocation norms by the organization is presented and tested with a sample of Turkish
registered nurses. Results show that recipients have differential preferences for
allocation norms depending on resource type being allocated and characteristics of the
environment. Furthermore, the fit or misfit between recipientsâ preferred allocation norm
and the allocation norm used by the organization affects recipientsâ justice perceptions
about the organization, their outcome satisfaction and performance.
