The Influence Mechanism of Stakeholder Fairness Perception on Voluntary Contribution Behavior
Sustained firm growth depends on employees and teams continuing to contribute knowledge, collaboration, innovation, and relationship maintenance beyond formal duties. Prior research shows that organizational justice predicts organizational citizenship behavior, yet most studies still treat employees primarily as internal subordinates. Fewer studies explain, from the standpoint of participants in a cooperative scheme, why people keep making hard-to-price voluntary contributions after current compensation has already been paid. This paper links Phillips’s principle of stakeholder fairness with the literatures on organizational justice, social exchange, and organizational trust, and proposes a mechanism of stakeholder fairness perception → trust → voluntary contribution behavior.
