Abstract: Perceptions of managerial justice are essential to maintaining highly motivated, satisfied and committed salespeople. Even though there is extant research concerning justice in areas outside marketing, measurement of the distributive and procedural justice constructs has not been the focus of rigorous scale development. This study draws on a variety of literatures and develops scales for the measurement of distributive and procedural justice for use in a sales force context. The measurement scales were validated on three separate sales force samples providing strong evidence of reliability and validity.
