Abstract
Considerable research in various settings outside of sport has established a linkage between organizational justice (perceptions of fairness in organizations) and performance outcomes. This study drew upon that literature to determine if team performance was impacted by student athlete perceptions of their coach’s level of fairness when dealing with the athletes. Student athletes (n=323) assessed the fairness of their coaches across three dimensions—distributive justice (decision outcomes), procedural justice (process used to arrive at the decision), and interpersonal justice (how the individual is treated during the decision making process). The study found that fairness perceptions did differ when comparisons were made between students who played on teams with winning records and students who played on teams with losing records. Students who played on winning teams perceived the level of fairness their coaches displayed to be higher than the coaches of students on losing teams.
