Why Do People Comply with the Law? Legitimacy and the Influence of Legal Institutions (2012, background): “Police legitimacy and public consent are necessary conditions of the justifiable use of state power: those who are subject to policing must see the police as right and proper (Tyler, 2006b, 2011a; Schulolfer et al., in press).”
A bed of thorns: Female leaders and the self-reinforcing cycle of illegitimacy (2016, background): “Of chief relevance here is the tendency for cooperative, extra role behaviors to increase in legitimate (vs. illegitimate) hierarchies (Tyler, 2010), which suggests that these behaviors will be reduced in teams led by women (vs. men), unless leaders are able to legitimize their authority.”
Monopolizing Force? Police Legitimacy and Public Attitudes toward the Acceptability of Violence (2013, unknown): “…justice research have demonstrated that people are concerned with whether police decisions are made through fair procedures and whether they are treated in an interpersonally fair manner during decision-making processes – collectively ‘procedural justice’ (Tyler, 2006b, 2011; Tyler & Huo, 2002).”
Why do ‘the law’ comply? Procedural justice, group identification and officer motivation in police organizations (2014, background): “Despite the evidence supporting the idea of organizational justice, rational choice models of human behaviour often appear to dominate in the human resource departments of both private and public sector organizations (Kohn, 1999; Tyler, 2011).”
Servant Leadership, Employee Job Crafting, and Citizenship Behaviors: A Cross-Level Investigation (2017, background): “Employees are generally motivated by social relationships in the workplace (Schein, 2006; Tyler, 2010).”
Trust, confidence, and equity affect the legitimacy of natural resource governance (2016, background): “However, the greater effect of trust in our model in comparison to justice may result from the close relationship between these two concepts (Tyler 2010), which we chose to treat as distinct aspects of the institutional regime in accordance with other recent studies (Tyler and Huo 2002, Levi et al.…”
Procedural justice policing and citizen compliance behaviour: the importance of emotion (2015, unknown): “Social psychologists and criminologists have also been particularly interested in understanding what makes people cooperate and comply with police and the law (e.g., Tyler 2006; 2011; Murphy, Hinds & Fleming, 2008).”
Explaining officer compliance: The importance of procedural justice and trust inside a police organization (2015, methodology): “The literature on procedural justice in police–citizen relationships and non-police organizations suggests that being open to officers’ input, giving them explanations for decisions made at higher levels, and treating them fairly, could encourage organizational commitment and voluntary rule followin”
