This study examined restaurant customers' perceptions of justice according to service recovery effort levels and whether perceived justice influences customers' future behavioral intentions. This study also investigated whether the effects of perceived justice on future behavioral intentions vary across customers' relationship quality levels. The results showed that high recovery efforts were consistently evaluated highly in terms of perceived justice when compared to low recovery efforts, regardless of the level of relationship quality. Additionally, perceived justice brought about by service recovery efforts has a positive effect on customers' future behavioral intentions. Hierarchical regression analyses suggested that relationship quality plays a moderating role between perceived justice and behavioral intentions in the distributive and procedural justice dimensions. Implications for the restaurant industry are also discussed. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
