Resumen
El estudio analiza las relaciones entre la justicia en selección de personal y las intenciones respecto a la empresa/organización. Para ello se consultó a 261 candidatos reales después de conocer los resultados de un proceso de selección. Se analiza la justicia en los procedimientos, las interacciones y la información así como las intenciones de recomendar la organización, de adquirir sus productos y de iniciar acciones legales. En línea con lo hipotetizado, el resultado de la selección influye en las percepciones de justicia, en las intenciones respecto a la organización y en la intención de adquirir sus productos. Los resultados de las ecuaciones de regresión jerárquica muestran diferencias entre hombres y mujeres. A las mujeres les influye sobre todo la justicia en los procedimientos y a los hombres la justicia en las interacciones y en la información. Se discuten las implicaciones de los resultados para la investigación y la práctica profesional.
