Title :
The Change of School Employees’ Organizational Justice (OJ) Perceptions Concerning Geography According to Socio-Culture
Abstract :

Problem Statement: Recently, OJ has started to be searched with cultural variables. Unfortunately, in Turkey, it has only been searched with demographic variables, but there are common perceptional effects of socio-cultural variables.

Purpose of Study: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of some socio-cultural variables on OJ, and whether or not OJ differs concerning geographic parts according to employees’ perceptions. 

Sample and Data Analysis: A survey method was used, and the research sample of the study consists of 1016 school employees in Turkey who were selected randomly. In this research, “Perceptions of Fair Interpersonal Treatment Scale,” which was adapted to Turkish by Wasti (2001), was used to gather data. Research questions were tested with MANOVA analysis, which consists of Wilks’ Lambda results (Λ).

Findings: Results showed that socio-cultural variables, especially ideology, are significant in Turkish schools in relationships with managers and relationships among employees. Besides, considering geography, school employees who work in west Anatolia and in the schools of densely populated cities have more positive perceptions about OJ than those who work in central and east Anatolia.

Conclusion and Recommendations: To develop OJ in school, current research findings should be supported with qualitative research findings; formal rules and procedures have to be practiced based on equity for all employees in schools of all geographic regions in Turkey.

Keywords: Organizational justice (OJ), schools, employees, socio-culture, geographic region, ideology.
