In this paper, we give characterizations of the category of finitely generated projective modules having a right rejective chain. By focusing on the characterizations, we give sufficient conditions for right rejective chains to be total right rejective chains. Moreover, we prove that Nakayama algebras with heredity ideals, locally hereditary algebras and algebras of global dimension at most two satisfy the sufficient conditions. As an application, we show that these algebras are right-strongly quasi-hereditary algebras.
