This study attempts to give a brief historical overview of organizational justice (O.J.) research in chronological order, identify different dimensions of the O.J. construct, discuss multiple themes of inquiry in O.J., and give insights into current trends and future directions in organizational justice research. The historical review includes the identification of distributive justice from equity theory, procedural justice from court disputes, interactional justice, integration of organizational justice research, and meta-analytic perceptions of organizational justice outcomes. Secondly, distributive, procedural, and interactional justice dimensions (DPIjds) of O.J. constructs are defined. Thirdly, reactive-proactive, content-process, homo economicus, Homo Socialis, and Homo Moralis themes of organizational justice research are discussed. Finally, current trends and future directions of O.J. research are recommended about dimensional-holistic nature and cross-cultural validation of organizational justice.

Keywords: Organizational Justice, Equity Theory, Distributive Justice, Procedural Justice, Interactional Justice.
