Research Abstract	This research investigates the role of organizational communication as an influential factor on organizational justice.First, we attempt to clarify the impact of task characteristics on organizational justice.Second,we attempt to analyze the impact of organizational justice in different conditions.Although there are many empirical studies on specific jobs in American companies,jobs in Japanese companies have not been analyzed fully.Because of this point, we should consider the impact of organizational justice on different jobs.The results showed that organizational communication directly and positively influences organizational justice.These results suggest communication inside organizations is an important factor when we consider organizational justice in the workplace.The results also suggest that organizational justice focusing only on the process of personnel appraisal is inadequate for designing an evaluation system in Japanese companies.
