The Relationship of Social Network and the Organizational Justice Strategies in Campus Media News Gathering

It is important to perform teamwork with high organizational justice. When some unfair events happen, it is counterproductive not only to the performance of the organization, but to organizational efficacy as well. Presses are time-conscious organizations, but they have to face the difficulty of resource distribution. The main purpose of this study is to examine organizational justice in presses. Because presses are so different from other organizations, there must be some kinds of important elements composing their organizational justice. In the procedure of news gathering, reporters always have to face the uncertainty of those events. If presses emphasize too much on the equity of distribution, it is possible that they may miss the deadline, or even lose the news. So presses seem to need another kind of evaluation to appraise their organizational justice. In this study, we expect to use the techniques of social network analysis to know if campus media crew would have an easy way to pass the examination set by editors if journalists are known very much by their managers. The analysis results will then be used to construct a mechanism of how the editing policy goes when journalists are good friends of editors. We hope that it would be as useful as the people who work in REAL media. Furthermore, we expect that finding how students perform when they face the assignments of news gathering, and what strategies to do justice in this media could affect students’ self-efficacy.
