THE EFFECT OF PSYCHOLOGİCAL SAFETY LEVELS OF HEALTH WORKERS ON THEİR PERCEPTİON OF ORGANİSATİONAL JUSTİCE

Abstract

This study aims to determine the impact of psychological safety levels on healthcare workers' perceptions of organisational justice. The sample consists of 271 healthcare professionals who voluntarily participated in the study. Data were collected online. The study employed a questionnaire as a data collection tool and measured psychological safety and organisational justice using appropriate scales. To determine differences in perceptions of psychological safety and organisational justice among employees based on demographic variables, t-tests and ANOVA tests were conducted. Additionally, regression analysis was performed to investigate the impact of psychological safety on organisational justice perception. The data was analysed using the SPSS software package. The study found that the psychological safety perceptions of healthcare workers were above average and did not vary based on marital status, gender, or age. Additionally, employees' perceptions of organizational justice were slightly below average and did not vary based on the type of institution. The study also revealed a significant relationship between the psychological safety perceptions of healthcare workers and organizational justice, including its sub-dimensions. Health managers and human resources professionals should develop strategies to support employees' psychological safety and improve their perceptions of justice.
