This study aims to investigate the long-term effects of multisource evaluation on justice climate and organizational performance. It further explores the moderating role of autonomy support in the relationship between multisource evaluation and justice climate.
Using a moderated mediation model, we analyzed a longitudinal dataset that includes over 7,000 employees from more than 300 firms.
The results indicate that multisource evaluation positively affects justice climate over time and that this effect is amplified by autonomy support, ultimately leading to increased productivity and innovation.
This study demonstrates that both employees and organizations derive greater benefits from multisource evaluation practices than from traditional supervisor-only evaluations. It also highlights specific conditions under which multisource evaluation can enhance employee and organizational outcomes. This is the first study to examine the effects of multisource evaluation practices on organizational-level outcomes from the employees’ perspective.
