This study aims to purpose a measurement instrument for organizational justice perceptions, and to test the underlying dimensional structure. Four steps were done. First: the items were collected from literature, and a questionnaire with Likert type scales was developed. Second: the questionnaire was applied to a sample comprising 167 individuals from 12 organizations, and the data were submitted to a principal component analysis. Third: a new questionnaire was performed containing the items remaining from principal component analysis. Four: a new sample comprising 282 individuals from 37 organizations was inquired, and the data were submitted to a confirmatory factor analysis. The findings suggest three dimensions of justice perceptions, the same more emphasized in literature: distributive, procedural and interactional. However, they also show that the interactional dimension can be divided in two factors: interpersonal and informational justice.
