This study examines police officers’ job involvement based on organizational justice theory. This study conceptualizes three components of organizational justice which could be relevant to job involvement: “procedural justice”, “distributive justice,” and “interactional justice.” To test the hypotheses, survey data from police officers in Daegu are collected and analyzed. Principal component method is used to see which items cluster together in each factor and to calculate factor scores. Multiple regression analysis identifies several factors which have significant effects on involvement. Key findings can be summarized as follow. First, the factor of “procedural justice” have significant effects. Second, the factor of “distributive Justice” have significant effects. Third, the factor of “interactional justice” have significant effects. Finally, when all the variables with significant effects are included in the final model, the effects of “distributive justice” disappear, while the effects of “procedural justice”, and “interactional justice” remain statistically significant. Based on these findings, this study suggests some policy issues to promote police officer' job involvement.
