Although scholars and practitioners argue that organizations should provide justice information in the aftermath of a psychological contract breach (PC breach) to prevent or reduce violation feelings, it remains unclear whether that information should be provided within a few hours, days, or weeks following a PC breach. We estimated a 2-level time-lagged regression model on experience sampling data from 76 (226 observations), 70 (213 observations), and 70 (344 observations) employees with different intervals to test the durability of informational justice as a moderator on the PC breach-violation feelings relationship. We found that justice information should be provided in close temporal proximity (i.e., within the same day; Study 1) of PC breach to reduce violation feelings. In contrast, neither justice information provided the day (Study 2) or week (Study 3) after a PC breach successfully moderated the PC breach-violation feelings relationship. The current paper underscores the importance of being informationally just in close temporal proximity to a PC breach in line with resolution velocity as an indicator of the effectiveness of the recovery process. We discuss theoretical and practical implications of these findings.

时间邻近性很重要：司法信息时间对心理契约违约解决的影响

尽管学者和从业者认为，组织应该在心理契约违约（PC 违约）发生后提供正义信息，以防止或减少违规情绪，但目前尚不清楚该信息是否应该在心理契约违约发生后的几小时、几天或几周内提供。电脑漏洞。我们对不同时间间隔的 76 名（226 次观察）、70 名（213 次观察）和 70 名（344 次观察）员工的经验采样数据估计了一个 2 级时滞回归模型，以测试信息正义作为调节者的持久性。 PC 违规-违规感受关系。我们发现，应在 PC 违规发生的时间上（即同一天内；研究 1）提供司法信息，以减少违规感受。相比之下，司法信息均未提供 PC 违规后的当天（研究 2）或一周（研究 3）成功缓和 PC 违规与违规情绪之间的关系。当前的论文强调了在信息上与 PC 漏洞的时间接近程度与解决速度相一致的重要性，作为恢复过程有效性的指标。我们讨论这些发现的理论和实践意义。
