Procedural justice research focuses on individual-authority exchange, not group-level justice

Evidence

Following the philosophical and institutional accounts of justice, we note that most conceptual discussions and operationalizations of justice in the procedural justice research rarely involve collectives or groups as the target level of focus, as the notion “justice for all” implies. Instead, it is the exchange between an individual and an authority, a group, or an organization to which he or she belongs that has dominated the target of focus in the procedural justice research. — Roderick M.
