The effect of employees' perception of organizational justice on psychological capital and job satisfaction

Abstract

Employees are the most valuable asset for industries. Therefore, the human factor's labour, effort, and management skills are significant added value for corporate sustainability from a sectoral perspective. Employees contribute to the development of corporate culture, the achievement of corporate goals, and, indirectly, the development of the national economy. In this respect, employees' success is essential for achieving the targeted corporate results. Employees' love for their jobs, adoption of the organization they work for, harmony with their colleagues, and trust in their supervisors will affect the success of their work. The organizational justice approach is a significant driving force behind this success. The primary purpose of this study is to measure the effect of employees' perceptions of organizational justice on their job satisfaction and psychological capital levels. The research covers 451 employees in the education, health, finance, industry, and service sectors. The data obtained from the employees were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS programs, and structural equation modelling was used. As a result, a statistically significant and robust relationship was found between employees' perceptions of organizational justice and their perceptions of psychological capital and job satisfaction. When a workplace environment that will enable human capital to flourish in businesses is created, this capital's current value and productivity will increase.
